Stonehenge Neolithic House Project

Gain exclusive access to the prototype Neolithic Houses currently under construction at Old Sarum Castle. Once mastered these houses, based on evidence recently discovered at Durrington Walls, will be reconstructed at Stonehenge as part of the new interpretation and visitors centre.

Meet Luke Winter, Manager of The Ancient Technology Centre and the volunteers taking on this challenge to discover the techniques and secrets of constructing these unique buildings.

Virtual cinema for Stonehenge

English Heritage has come up with a novel idea to let people experience standing in the Stone circle without actually being there and damging the ancient site.

They are considering developing a 360 degree cinema which will be incorporated into the new £27 million centre.

The stones were roped off in 1977 due to problems with erosion. The new centre is being built one and a half miles away from the stones
