Iron Age (700BC – AD43)
The Iron Age lasted from around 700BC until
the Roman conquest of Britain in AD43
Sanitation was at its poorest that age.
They used to carry buckets of unfiltered water
from the river, wells or streams to drink and
for their personal uses.
A hole in their gardens, called a cesspit, was
where they did their business. If full, they’d
bury it and dig a new one.
