Author(s): Mark Knight
This report presents the results of the Autumn 2021 condition assessment of the internationally significant Bronze Age post-alignment at Flag Fen. There is a risk of significant loss of preserved archaeology following the lowering of groundwater levels due to the draining of the surrounding fens for agriculture. The monument has been on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register since 2012 as evidence has shown that the timber and other organic remains are degrading. The report provides new detail concerning the contextual and topographical setting of the monument and will inform the development a management plan for the site.
