Noted as "Iron Age"; but that extends up to (practically) the present.* Based on technological chronologies that I'm familiar with, the horse shoes probably indicate Viking Age rather than earlier.
* Describing some artistic ironwork motifs to folks, I will frequently describe them as: "From about the 5th century to the present." or "Roman era to present." Simple, useful stuff is persistent.
