The neutron spectrum from the (sup 55)Mn(d,n)(sup 56)Fe reaction has been measured at E(sub d) = 7 MeV. The level density of (sup 56)Fe obtained from neutron evaporation spectrum has been compared to the level density from Oslo-type (sup 57)Fe((sup 3)He, a(gamma))(sup 56)Fe experiment. The good agreement supports the recent results including an availability of a low-energy enhancement in the (gamma)-strength function for iron isotopes. The new level density function allowed us to investigate an excitation energy dependence of this enhancement, which is shown to increase with increasing excitation energy.
