The project 'The Welsh Roundhouse' was funded by the University of Wales Board of Celtic Studies, managed by Robert Johnston (University of Sheffield) with a research assistant Eleanor Ghey (University of Wales, Bangor). Also involved in the project were Nancy Edwards (University of Wales, Bangor) and Rachel Pope (University of Leicester).
The project aimed to collect data from all sites in the modern administrative boundary of Wales with excavated roundhouses (in the broad sense of circular structures whether used for domestic occupation or other activity). Sites with radiocarbon dating were selected for collection of more detailed data on the associated houses. The data were gathered from published and unpublished sources; a full bibliography is available with the database.
Data were collected between November 2004 and May 2005, and will not be updated beyond the end of the project in October 2005. The results of the project are discussed in the following article:
