Jarlshof

| 3 Comments

On Friday after we had been to Dunrossness we drove down to a archeology site called Jarlshof. It is the ruins of bronzage, ironage,viking and medieval houses. We got there and the weather was poor so we got to eat in the museum. We got outside and we went to early round houses, most of them were gone but you could see the remains. They consisted of a round building made of stone. We went  to more recent round houses and there was a lot of rooms in them. They were still round but bigger with rooms in them. We each chose a room and pretended it was our own. We progressed to the viking setelment and most of that had gone to. They were rectangular this time and still made of stone. We went into a lairds house. It was a much bigger and well made. We got to climb some stairs and have an ariel veiw. We left Jarlshof and went to the Crofthouse Museum. It was just like how it would have been in the past. There was a peat fire aswell. It had box beds and spinning wheels.
