Iron Age Britain

Iron Age Britain, spanning roughly 800 BC to the Roman invasion in AD 43, saw significant developments in society and culture. Characterized by the widespread use of iron for tools and weapons, this era featured tribal communities, hillforts for defense, and advances in agriculture. The Celts became prominent, known for their art, intricate designs, and complex social structures. Trade networks flourished, connecting Britain with continental Europe. Religious practices often centered on nature and ancestor worship. The arrival of the Romans marked the end of the Iron Age, leading to profound transformations in Britain’s landscape and culture.
