Activity Overview

Learn hands-on from our farmers at the biggest reconstructed Iron Age settlement in Britain, located in Hertfordshire! This exciting Iron Age trip will help you work towards many curricular outcomes… Iron Age hill forts: tribal kingdoms, farming, art and culture.

• Explore our Chieftain’s roundhouse
• Grind Grain on Quern Stones to make Bread
• Weave yarn on Warp Weighted Looms
• Help to Cook Iron Age Soup and Dye bracelets with fresh herbs
• Trade and Barter

Trading has two parts:

• Part 1: your class will trade real artefacts as they roleplay as Iron Age farmers and use numerical problem solving in the trading game
• Part 2: your pupils will swap their pocket money for Celtic gold coins to trade for the more precious produce in the shop
