Prof Howard Williams visits the almost ready roundhouse: I live just over half-an-hour’s drive from one of England’s most spectacularly located castles: Beeston. The outer and inner ruined stone walls, notably its inner gatehouse, make this is one of the most striking medieval castles to visit.
What I want to discuss here, however, is the new initiative by English Heritage to bring a dimension of prehistory to the heritage interpretation of the site. For while the visitor centre’s exhibition charts the long story of Beeston from Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age occupation to the medieval and early modern use of the site, there remains a demonstrable absence of clear signs or explanation of the site’s prehistoric occupation. So I’m very excited that, in a post-medieval quarry so as not to disturb the ground surface of the older archaeological dimensions of the site, a roundhouse is being built this summer.
