Audio guide Grain Earth House in English
In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Grain Earth House telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.
What you'll hear inside Grain Earth House:
- 1Underground Passage
A gently curving passage roughly five metres long connects the original entrance to the oval chamber at the heart of Grain Earth House.
- 2Oval Chamber with Stone Pillars
The oval chamber at the end of the passage sits about two metres below ground and is tall enough to stand in comfortably — a marked contrast to the narrow approach.
- 3Original Entrance and Stairway
Intact since the Iron Age, the original entrance to Grain Earth House is reached via a door and a short flight of steps.
