Iron Age Tribes

An archaeologist explores Maiden Castle – the biggest Iron Age Hill Fort in Britain. We find out how it was built, with a succession of steeply-rising ramparts and ditches, as well as finding out about the weapons they used to defend the entrance. We discover what Iron Age people used for money, as well as the crops they grew and the animals they kept. Perhaps the most surprising thing is the amount of effort they went to in order to remain safe from their enemies.
