Bronze Age House Recreated at Beeston Castle
Four thousand years after it disappeared, a Bronze Age house is being reconstructed by English Heritage volunteers at Beeston Castle in Cheshire, using authentic tools and archaeological evidence. This archaeological experiment is informed by the recent discoveries at the Bronze Age settlement at Must Farm in Cambridgeshire as well as earlier discoveries at Beeston Castle itself. People had lived on the Cheshire rocky crag long before the existing medieval castle was built and the site – a short drive from modern-day Liverpool and Manchester – was a particularly important defended settlement and metalworking centre from the late Bronze Age.
