Glastonbury Lake Village is a prehistoric settlement located near Glastonbury in Somerset, dating to the Iron Age period, approximately the 1st century BCE. The site comprises the remains of a substantial village that occupied marshy ground, evidenced by wooden structures, post holes, and accumulated domestic debris discovered during excavation. The settlement is significant for revealing detailed evidence of Iron Age domestic life and construction techniques, including information about roundhouses and the material culture of the period. Archaeological work, notably by Arthur Bulleid and others in the early twentieth century, recovered considerable quantities of pottery, metalwork, and organic remains that have considerably advanced understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns in southern Britain.
