Abstract:		 Set within one of the most intensively excavated landscapes in the country, recent excavations at Fengate, Peterborough discovered significant prehistoric activity. Amongst a series of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pits, one example yielded a substantial dump of burnt grain indicative of large scale cereal cultivation with major implications for the agrarian economy. Further elements of Fengate’s renowned Middle Bronze Age field system were also revealed, together with dispersed features of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. This paper considers the findings in relation to those from neighbouring sites, providing a fuller picture of the Bronze Age landscape and offering a perspective on the nature of activity pre- and post-dating the field system.
