Archaeological Investigation at Must Farm, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. The Phase 2 Palaeochannel Area

An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) in advance of sand, gravel and clay extraction at Hanson’s Must Farm Quarry, to the south-west of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire (centred on TL 233 969). The project was undertaken on behalf of SLR Consulting Ltd. for Hanson Building Products Ltd. This report details the results of initial one hectare block of the Palaeochannel area. As part of an on-going programme of archaeological fieldwork the results of Phase II Palaeochannel Area investigations have the potential to add to our understanding of the prehistoric landscape of the Flag Fen basin
