	:: Flag Fen - Mustdyke and Roman Road ::
		When the timbers of Flag Fen were first discovered in 1982 they were revealed along an 80 metre length of the Mustdyke.
		The Fen Causeway was the only major Roman road constructed across the Fens.
		After crossing the southern Fens the Fen causeway joined the Roman road network of East Anglia at Denver, in Norfolk.

	The Fens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fens, also known as the Fenland, consist of an area of former wetlands in the eastern part of England, stretching around the coast of The Wash from Lincolnshire to Norfolk and reaching into the historic counties of Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Suffolk.
		Some areas of the fens were permanently flooded, creating small lakes or "meres", while others were only flooded during periods of high water, but this was enough that in the pre-modern period arable farming was limited to the higher areas of the fen-edge, fen-islands and "townlands".
		There is evidence for human settlement near the fens from mesolithic period on; indeed, the evidence suggests that mesolithic settlement in Cambridgeshire was particularly along the fen-edges and on the low islands within the fens, to take advantage of the hunting and fishing opportunities of the wetlands.

	The history of Wicken Fen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The drainage of the fens was originally undertaken by the Romans - who cleared large areas in the southern fenland.
		The people of Wicken, Burwell and Upware were still keen on the traditional fen activities and kept their area from being drained until 1840 when the land owners set up a commission for the purpose of draining that part of the fens.
		Unfortunately, neighbouring fens in the area were requisitioned from the National Trust in 1940 and drained for agricultural use.

		The fens included Middle and Mow fens north and west of the ridge, Mare fen to the north, and Cow fen to the east.
		Mare fen and part of Cow fen were inclosed in the early 17th century and the rest, with the open fields, between 1838 and 1840.
		A block of houses and crofts, including freeholds, at the south end appears to be an encroachment on the green, made perhaps in the 12th or 13th century.

	Fen Causeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is possible that the route continued east of Denver to meet Peddars Way at Castle Acre, but the evidence for this is less certain.
		Towards its western end it is close to the Bronze Age route across Flag Fen.
		The Fen Causeway is also the name given to a link road in the City of Cambridge constructed in the mid-1920s to ease the pressure on Silver Street.

		Part of the area, alongside Maid's Causeway, is known as Butt's Green - as in many towns, that was the area much used by residents for archery butts.
		It was in a former river valley and was marshy, resulting in pursuits such as snipe hunting.

	Flag Fen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 10th century BC the ground level was much lower than today, increasing around 1 mm per year as autumnal debris is added to the surface of the fens.
		There is also an exposed section of the Roman road known as the Fen Causeway which crosses the site and a reconstruction of a Prehistoric droveway.
		One section of the poles are being preserved by replacing the cellulose in the wood with water carried wax impregnating of the wood over the years.

		The people needed a way to travel to their summer flood meadows and at the same time protect the meadows from use by neighbouring communities who were losing their land to the rising water.
		Their solution was to construct a kilometre long, 10 metre wide causeway over the low lying Flag Fen basin (named after the flag iris growing in the area) to connect the edge of the dry land, known as Fengate with the local island, today called Northey.
		Archaeologists are attempting to identify prehistoric Flag Fen sheep by comparing bones found at the site with the rare 2000-year-old breed of Soay sheep on the Scottish island of St. Kilda.

	East Anglian Archaeology - Landscape
		Investigation of the Roman road known as the Fen Causeway revealed a canal, and the associated salt-making and peat cutting economy.
		Differences between the two have been striking, with the focus of settlement shifting from the northern fen edge to the west during the Bronze Age, and the wide expanses of fen in the north serving as a barrier to communication.
		The principal monuments, other than the Etton causewayed enclosure, were three small henges which exhibited several phases of re-modelling, a C-shaped enclosure, the Etton Woodgate contour ditched ‘enclosure’ and associated settlement, and four barrows (out of many more that are in the vicinity).

		The Iron Age tribes in the south of England were generally quicker to adapt to the Roman lifestyle than those in the north.
		However the Iceni, a tribe based in the fens and East Anglia, rebelled during the first 20 years of Roman rule, and forts were built to guard crossings of the River Nene at Water Newton and Longthorpe.
		The Fen Causeway crossed the fens, providing a direct link between the East Anglian coast and the Midlands.

		This replaces a narrow, unsurfaced path that, although used by cyclists for generations, was bumpy, muddy and difficult to use because of the lack of a crossing where the route crosses the Fen Causeway.
		The new path has a hard, if slightly uneven, surface and there is a push-button-operated toucan crossing at Fen Causeway.
		In recognition of the environmental sensitivity of this area, the path is still quite narrow (narrower than the Jubilee cycle route across Ditton Meadows, for example) and is unlit.

	St Mark's Church, Newnham, Cambridge
		St Mark's Church was built in 1901 to replace an earlier wooden church which had served the growing village of Newnham since 1870, as a daughter church of Grantchester.
		In those days Newnham was quite isolated from the town of Cambridge, but the construction of the Fen Causeway encouraged more houses to be built around the old village in the early twentieth century.
		Since then, within the boundaries of the parish of Newnham (including the old village and the newer houses built in streets off the Barton Road), the population has expanded to a total of about 3,000.

	Robert Louis Stevenson: The Black Arrow - Bk1, Ch 2: In the Fen
		The sky was all blue; the jolly wind blew loud and steady; the windmill-sails were spinning; and the willows over all the fen rippling and whitening like a field of corn.
		And just as he was so thinking, a voice cried upon his name from the causeway side, and, looking over his shoulder, he saw the lad's face peering from a clump of reeds.
		So the change was made, and they went forward as briskly as they durst on the uneven causeway, Dick with his hand upon the other's knee.

	Fen Challenge: The Challenge
		A five-day journey through the fens, all in aid of Willingham community services.
		In Medieval times the only carriage road from Cambridge across the undrained fen to Ely ran close to Willingham via the Aldreth Causeway, so pilgrims and traders would have stopped at Willingham at the edge of the fens on their way to Ely.
		So it is not for nothing that this five-day journey attempted to recreate the essence of early fen travel, by circumnavigating a route through the south fens facing hazards no worse than punctures and failing GSM coverage!

		So, perhaps the Causeway and the Cut are far away from the statues.

	Peterborough: from the Iron Age to the Anglo Saxons.

		When the Romans came to the fen in the 1st century AD, they constructed the Fen Causeway and Ermine Street which crossed the River Nene at Water Newton.
		In the 12th century, the Abbey was rebuilt, and a new town developed to extend beyond the walls of the burgh and beyond a small settlement in the Boongate area.
