A New Zealand man has built a Hobbit house.
Carl Gifford, a stonemason from Wellington, says he used a 10-tonne digger to make the hole.
He's put rocks either side of the front door and plans to install a chimney and lantern on top.
He told the Evening Post he was embarrassed as he was constructing the home.
He said: "I must admit I was hiding as the cars were driving past. I thought, 'These people think I'm an idiot'."
The house is part of a series of stonework mounds, designs and sculptures dotted around his land.
"I'm just having a bit of fun. Things that were built by those ancient people like caves have always fascinated me."

Hey... I need a clarification from last night's show...
In the scene where Jack is up in Palmer's suite, after he's been on the computer and talking to Palmer's brother, he's leaving and says something to the brother about "Don't tell anybody what we found on the computer".
I must have missed it... what did they find on the computer? All I remember was they decrypted Palmers memoir... did they find something in it?
Good morning, with thanks for the ping!
It was an encrypted copy of the memoir Palmer was working on, with a name and address hidden in it.
That name and address is what led Jack to the airport.
