'Pompeii of the Fens'

Post by Euan »

Extraordinarily well-preserved Bronze Age farm dubbed the 'Pompeii of the Fens' only operated for a YEAR before it was destroyed by fire, study finds
Must Farm contains the best preserved prehistoric houses found in Britain
They were built on stilts above the river in which they were eventually buried
The structures show no signs of repair and timbers were green when they burnt
Researchers believe that the houses were built sometime around 1,100–800 BCClick Here :g50:

That is an incredibly interesting project, with a fantastic video report for good measure.

Thank you both, brilliant.
