How do you make a Celtic round house.?

Answer 1

The house is in the centre of a circular enclosure approximately 30 meters across. The house is 10 meters in diameter, with two doorways, facing east and west. There is an inner ring of 12 post holes approximately 1.5 meters in from the wall. In the centre of the house is a fireplace of flat stone slabs, in a shallow depression, covering an area of about 1 square meter.
The walls of the houses were made of wattle and daub. The wattle walls were made from weaving a fence of hazel or willow sticks. The daub was made of a mixture of clay, straw and animal dung! The straw and dung help to stop the clay from cracking and falling away. The walls were lime-washed to create a better appearance and make the houses a little brighter.

Answer 2

To make a Celtic round house, start by selecting a suitable location and clearing the area. Then, create a circular foundation by digging a shallow trench and laying stones or logs in a ring. Next, construct the walls by interlocking horizontal wooden poles or wattle & daub panels. Finally, create a conical thatched roof using a framework of wooden rafters and covering it with layers of straw or reed thatch.
