Description: Bed and breakfast in the Iron Age One of the Castell Henllys round houses includes these 'bed-chambers' curtained-off for the privacy, one imagines, of superior members of the clan. Vegetable dyes were used to colour the woven woollen material. The fire would have been used for cooking and for warmth on this carved log seating, and the smoke would permeate through the thatched roof rather than escaping through a hole since introducing oxygen would be a fire risk.
