- This 418-page monograph is an interpretive synthesis and presentation of the results of two long-term landscape-scale investigations of later prehistoric Fenland, at King’s Dyke and Bradley Fen. It presents the discovery of a henge, two round barrows, metalwork deposits and settlement. The fieldwork also revealed a buried sub-peat landscape, altering interpretations of the archaeological potential of deep fenland deposits. The excavations were undertaken over the course of seven successive years (1998-2004). The principal authors’ interpretations are supported by 22 post-excavation specialist studies and a comprehensive gazetteer of 21 earlier investigations in the same locality.
