Abstract:		 Strip, map and record operation in advance of gravel quarrying exposed a well-preserved prehistoric Fen-edge landscape covering an area of approximately 58 acres (c. 23.5ha). Pottery dates and a series of radiocarbon determinations reveal that the site was occupied throughout the second millennium BC, with activity apparently intensifying later in that period.A broadly linear group of four ring-ditches, probably the remains of an Early Bronze Age barrow cemetery, provided the focus for later Bronze Age fields. These formed a rectilinear field system which was aligned on the barrow cemetery, which itself reflected the alignment of the nearby Fen-edge. Midden areas and scores of waterhole pits containing well-preserved organic depositswere found within the field system. Although no evidence of domestic structures was found on the site, the type and amount of the artefacts that were recovered from it indicate that it was occupied, possibly by a series of small farmsteads. Evidence of salt manufacture in the vicinity was also found.
