I have a postcard of a roundhouse from Craggenowen, obtained in 1992. Would
it be of some help??

Yikes... the only possible source that comes to mind is the presence of
surviving clothes on BA period bog bodies...

The Cregganowen reconstruction might be your best bet for a roundhouse,
which is
located in Co Clare. Don't know of there are any online photos for this
place,
but I wouldn't be surprised of there were. In terms of construction, a poke
around in a decent archaeology text book such as John Waddell's 'The
Prehistoric
Archaeology of Ireland' should turn up several nice (recon)structural
diagrams
for roundhouses also.

I cannot resist asking... what, oh what do you need to build a styrofoam Lia
Fail for??!!
