Jersey Heritage is officially opening its Neolithic Longhouse at La Hougue Bie.

The 20-metre-long replica has been built by a team of volunteers, using traditional tools and authentic Neolithic techniques.

The build was inspired by Luke Winter, a UK ancient technology expert using methods like mud daubing, thatching, bark-stripping and making cordage from stinging nettles and brambles.

The organisation hope it will be a new exciting attraction as an educational resource for schoolchildren and adults to learn more about Jersey's Neolithic past.
