Dexter cattle, hut and Anglo-Saxon cart, Bede's World
The Dexter is a small breed of cattle originating in Ireland LinkExternal link
Archaeology suggests Anglo-Saxon oxen were of a similar shape and size. Two Dexters are kept on the experimental farm, Gyrwe, called Edwin and Oswin. The cart is based on a manuscript illustration.
