Iron
Age Britain: introduction |
The
Iron Age was the time in history when the metal iron
became widely used (for weapons, tools, cooking pots,
nails etc). Iron
changed the lives of ordinary people, making
important tasks like farming easier, but also made
fighting between tribes more common.
In Britain, the Iron Age began about 800 BCE and
ended in 43 AD, when the Romans invaded and defeated
the Celts (who lived in Britain and across Europe at
that time).
