Abstract:		 The study attempted to define the archaeological potential of two blocks of land at Eldernell. Study of documentary sources, recorded archaeological finds and in particular, reassessment and replotting of aerial photographs had shown that the areas and their immediate environs lay in a rich archaeological landscape. They appeared to have been a focus of activity in Roman times, lying at the interchange where the Fen Causeway met the high ground after crossing the peat from the town of March. A complex system of roads and tracks had been identified and mapped on the high ground, as had the site of a possible Roman marching camp. In addition, two ring ditches marked the location of Bronze Age burial sites, indicating earlier use of the area. In the southern block of land early prehistoric remains may have underlain the peat and could still have been in an excellent state of preservation. [Au]
