Enjoyed visiting this as a just-round-the-corner excursion – just open once a year so don’t miss it, if not been before! There are some activities too to have a go at. Directions are at the following link – but basically it is just at the ‘Furniture Farm’ entrance on Mansfield Lane, Calverton : http://www.bbc.co.uk/thingstodo/activity/iron-age-roundhouse-open-days/occurrence/138862

Where in Calverton parish is this roundhouse situated please?
you just turn into the ‘Furniture Farm’ entrance at Woodview Farm on Mansfield Lane and there’ll be someone to show you to their little car park and the roundhouse is in the field at the back.
