Heritage Education
Heritage
As a nationally significant site, with an ancient scheduled monument (one of a series of interlinked Neolithic and Bronze Age barrows) and archaeological evidence that supports over 10,000 years of human history, our school sessions offer unique opportunities, for young people to connect with the ancient past, and immerse themselves in our living history experience! Choose your preferred session or two to make a Stone Age to Iron Age Theme Day today.
