Can I make all usual structures with just wood from my small woodland?

Think on this:

Neolithic, bronze age, and iron age people would not have survived in terms of creating shelter and making the utensils, materials and tools necessary for life from one acre of scraggy boggy woodland.
They would have roamed much further to gather the necessary materials.

That is a very good point. I watched an episode of digging for Britain last night and they uncovered some Bronze Age artifacts and analysis showed the copper content had been mined in Austria/Switzerland. There was even ivory from Africa and amber from the Baltic. It is really surprising how ‘global’ the economy was in in the past. Perhaps that leaf spring from a Toyota isn’t against the rules

These Bronze Age , cave men etc used what they had at the time of their existence they ate what ever animals roamed the land and caught fish from lakes and rivers . Fast forward to today and just because the available materials, animals and fish , the climate and the environment have changed if these Bronze Age , Iron Age men were still here today they would still use what is available so should anything be against the rules within reason. I’m sure they would of made use of for eg solar energy if they had the means..

I'd start with a simple frame and tarp lashed to suitable trees to give some rudimentary shelter to get you going. Something to keep you, and tools, dry and out of the wind, somewhere to work... Have seen old parachutes used for shelter (do it myself in my own wood) but not sure how waterproof they are?
As stated, winters coming - clearing, processing wood etc takes time. Think how long it'll take, double it and add some more works for me!!
Whereabouts roughly are you in Wales?

I can confirm through direct experience that parachute material is waterproof enough to make a dry shelter. Given enough material, you'd have an outer an an inner with a small air gap.
