Iron Age experiments start on Butser hill

Butser Ancient Farm started life over 50 years ago in 1972 as an experimental research site exploring Prehistoric & Roman Agriculture and Building Techniques. It was an initiative developed by the Council for British Archaeology and the first director was Peter Reynolds (1939-2001).

The location of the original Ancient Farm on Butser Hill, in what is now the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, was partly chosen because of evidence for extensive Iron Age field systems on Butser Hill, still visible in the prehistoric field boundaries and earthworks that cover the landscape.
