Often referred to as 'Britain's Pompeii', Must Farm an exceptionally well-preserved Late Bronze Age settlement between Peterborough and Whittlesey. In 1999 decaying timbers were discovered protruding from the southern face of the brick pit at Must Farm. Investigations in 2004 and 2006 dated the timbers to the Bronze Age and identified them as a succession of large structures spanning an ancient watercourse. The Must Farm settlement archive includes weapons, textiles, beads, fish traps, cooking items, and Britain’s earliest wheel.
