Iron Age monuments

Iron Age monuments are structures built during the Iron Age, a period roughly from 1200 BCE to 500 CE, characterized by the use of iron for tools and weapons. These monuments, such as hill forts, burial mounds, and stone circles, served various purposes, including defense, ritual, and commemorative functions. They reflect the social organization, beliefs, and practices of Iron Age communities. Significant examples can be found in Europe, like Stonehenge in England and the hills of Denmark, demonstrating advanced engineering and the importance of place in Iron Age societies.
