Butser Ancient Farm
Nexus House
Gravel Hill
Waterlooville
Hampshire PO8 0QE
Tel: 023 9259 8838
Website: www.butser.org.uk
Butser Ancient Farm is a replica of the sort of farm that would have existed in the British Iron Age around 300 BC. Its former director, Peter Reynolds, who died in 2001, was a regular Time Team expert. Founded in 1972, the farm has buildings, structures, animals and crops of the kind that existed at that time. It is much more than a museum, though. It is, in effect, a large open-air laboratory where research into the Iron Age and Roman periods goes on using the methods and materials available at the time, and also by applying modern science to ancient problems. The farm is open to the public on occasional weekends, and is happy to welcome school parties, archaeological societies, and other group visits by arrangement. Special-interest groups can also be catered for. The farm runs a number of day schools and courses for people interested in the Iron Age and in archaeology in general.
