Iron Age Farm

Another weekend another adventure (!!): We went to visit an Iron Age Farm at Ullandhaug (part of Stavanger).

From Stavanger web

It consist of three wooden building with roofs made of peat and bark. The exterior walls were covered with stones to keep out the cold. The buildings burned down around 500Ad for some unknown reason possibly due to a war.

The reconstructed buildings have been erected on their original site. The hearths are the original ones and are still in use. This contributes to great authenticity and provides a valuable experience of the past.

The excavation of the farmstead at Ullandhaug took place in 1967 and 1968, and provided new knowledge about prehistoric house constructions. The buildings were reconstructed in 1972 and 1973.
