=====================
A tribe in Iron Age Britain try to decide how to deal with a raid by another tribe attempting to steal their cattle. Druids, or priests, play an important part in the process of deciding what actions to take.

This clip is from the BBC series The Story of Britain, a compilation of animated shorts that bring the history of Britain alive from the Mesolithic period to the Domesday Book.

Teaching History?

This could be used as an introduction to the Iron Age. Students could be asked to compare the way people lived in the different ages: when do they think it was better to live – the Stone Age, the Bronze Age or the Iron Age? The clip covers a very long period of time with great changes in the way of life for people in Britain. What are the biggest changes? What has changed the least?

This will be relevant for teaching History at KS2 or Second Level (Scotland).
