For "Survivors" Eyes Only

These are ancient, older than the pyramids houses found after a devastating storm hit the islands. They are stone and wood roofed houses covered with a layer of earth, built semi buried and low to the ground to conserve heat.

Now, they actually had interlinking 'tunnels' between each home, so to move from one to the other you never actually had to go 'outside'. This also had a huge benefit as you would share the heat from a fire between many homes. In short, a 'communal central heating' system.

me thinks it would be a good idea to build this way, as a semi buried and earthed over home would be very hard to spot from the air or ground if it was camouflaged the right way.

That is amazing I had a dream a littlee over a month ago about partially underground homes that were interconnected. Above ground was like your garden\play with streams of water around them while semi-below was your homes. The other thing in the dream was you had a central kitchen,living & greenhouse area which then branched off to the living areas. In this dream they were dome or round type housing was the only difference. Very strange dream indeed but it was so vivid. Still don't know what purpose it served as according to the maps of global changes or polar shift my area would be underwater or too close to risk it.

Skara Brae had central dining areas with a fire right in the middle for equal heating to all parts of the house. It also served to funnel warm air through the tunnels in a great big doughnut shape. Every one heated every ones homes.

Right by the sea and with very fertile land about it. Its a beautiful place it really is.

Thanks for the information just checked it out and it truly is amazing. The picture on Wikipedia with the vegetation buildup is pretty similar to what I viewed and yes the heating was in a central location. This may well be the way to proceed for myself as well. Just need to do a little more research on the rise in water. Seems to me my dream was telling me this was the way for me to proceed.

ive had similar thoughts of an under ground vilage undetectable to outside forces.. im a bit bothered about going so far up north as i understand we are headed for an ice age??? but i imagined it in the highlands on the side of a hill on the edge of a wood with a lake at the bottom..no visible entrance or a door that was covered in actual plants or turf..

You mean like a hobbit house?
