I can describe how the use of iron impacted farming during the Iron Age.
Show transcript
Iron farming tools like the ard plough could be used in heavy clay soils and wetter conditions.
This allowed a greater variety of crops to be grown, such as oats, and more land to become available for farming.
Iron also allowed the creation of stronger tools, such as axes, meaning further clearing of the wildwood.
With more farming, the number of enclosed settlements grew and land ownership became more important.
