Many options were considered, but the wish to build something dramatic and unique to the county led to the building of a replica Iron Age roundhouse. There are two Iron Age finds in Chapel Lane, and there is archaeological evidence of roundhouses at Shoeburyness and Orsett.
Hadleigh’s roundhouse is based on a floor plan from an archaeological excavation at Little Waltham, near Chelmsford and was funded by a grant from Veolia ES Cleanaway Pitsea Marshes Trust.
