Thanks Mark! The curve I've put in is directly inspired by a door lintel discovered at the early medieval Buiston Crannog, Ayrshire which is thought to have used the same woven basketry construction.

It has since been thatched, so very well I believe.

Excited to have received these LBA tools made by Bronze Age metal smith Neil Burridge. The axe heads are based on an example from the Kalemouth hoard, Roxburgh held at the National Museum of Scotland. These high quality replicas will be vital for my experiments. I can't wait to use them!

Hello all,
I'm a wood specialist undertaking a PhD researching Late Bronze Age toolkits from Northern Britain with the University of Leicester and the National Museums Scotland. I'll be posting about my research and all things woody and archaeology!

Here's a roundhouse I built at the SCC Loch Tay.
