The ATC began over 25 years ago as a school project with the building of an Iron Age roundhouse based on archaeological evidence. It now has six full sized reconstructions of ancient buildings.

The ATC is striving to open its doors regularly to the public. The staff are dedicated to the education of children and the preservation of ancient skills. The Ancient Technology Centre has developed a unique program of hands on learning for children of all ages.
