What was the Iron Age?
The Iron Age refers to the period of time in Britain (from around 800 BC until the Roman conquest in 43 AD) when iron and steel began to be used to make tools and weapons instead of bronze.
Why do you think iron and steel was used instead of bronze?A. Because it was easier to findB. Because it was strongerC. It was cheaper
The correct answer is B. It was worked into shape by hammering it against an anvil – a process known as smithing – and was used to make objects such as ploughs, armour and coins (which were used for the first time in the Iron Age around 100 BC). Significant changes in farming techniques and technology also occurred during this period in history and led to a significant population increase

Iron hillforts
Have a little think What do you think an iron hillfort is?
Iron hillforts were defended settlements that made use of natural rises in the landscape for defensive advantage. Between 500 and 100 BC, many parts of Britain were dominated by hillforts with settlements providing a home for hundreds, and later thousands of people. The remains of some very large hillforts, which made complex changes to the landscape, have been discovered.
