Peter Urmston - Reconstruction showing how the village of Chysauster may have looked at its peak. Chysauster is one of the best preserved ancient villages in Britain. A close-knit community lived and worked here between the late 1st century and the end of the 3rd century CE. The villagers lived in stone walled houses, each with a number of rooms arranged round a courtyard - a unique house layout found only in late Iron Age.
