Iron Age Farm (Scotland)

Iron Age Farm in Scotland refers to a type of agricultural settlement from the Iron Age, around 800 BC to AD 100. These farms typically featured roundhouses made of wood and thatch, surrounded by fields for crops and pastures for livestock. Evidence of farming practices includes tools, pottery, and animal remains, which provide insights into the diet and lifestyle of the people. These communities were often self-sufficient, utilizing the land for both food and shelter. The study of such farms helps archaeologists understand social organization and agricultural practices during this significant period in Scottish history.
