Abstract:		 During September 2016 the Cambridge Archaeological Unit in partnership with Octavia Hill Birthplace House undertook survey and trial excavation of Manea Fen Colony. Established in 1838, this was a Utopian socialist community inspired by the principles of the Owenite movement, most notably fostering a cooperative ethos. The project's aim was to characterise the site's archaeological potential for (i) addressing questions concerning the nature and development of nineteenth century socialism, (ii) mapping the distribution of buildings and other features of the settlement's original and changing outline plan, and (iii) to determine the local legacy of Utopia. The project's fieldwork included surface collection of artefacts, magnetic and earth resistance geophysical surveys, test pitting and trial trenching. Four main phases of activity were visible archaeologically, comprising pre-colony (Phase 1), nineteenth century occupation (Phase 2), twentieth century occupation (Phase 3), and the post-occupation landscape (Phase 4).
