Abstract:		 The Great Fen Restoration Project to restore over 3000ha of fenland habitat between Huntingdon and Peterborough may impact on unknown archaeological deposits by destabilising environmental conditions. However, the archaeology was likely affected by previous land reclamation. Prehistoric wooden trackways crossed the Woodwalton fen and early prehistoric, Bronze Age, and Roman finds occurred on the uplands surrounding the fen basin. Roman finds from Whitlesey Mere may indicate water-management. Medieval activity included earthworks and ridge and furrow on the higher ground, with fisheries and drainage works in the fen. Later lodes, wind pumps and drainage mills were also evidenced. [Au(adp)]
