Flag Fen
Flag Fen Archaeology Park is home to a unique and ancient wooden monument. A kilometre long wooden causeway and platform that’s been perfectly preserved in the wetland for centuries. This wooden engineering marvel was built some 3,300 years ago.
Please note that the site is currently closed except for pre-booked groups until Sunday 1 April.
Built by Bronze Age people as a place of worship and ritual, the causeway contains 60,000 upright timbers and 250,000 horizontal planks buried underground along with many swords and other personal ‘offerings’ to the watery fen. Come and visit us:
- see an uncovered section of the ritual causeway, the ‘Stonehenge of the Fens’
- explore reconstructed buildings from the Bronze Age and Iron Age
- see incredible objects including England’s oldest wheel
- meet our herd of rare Soay sheep
- discover what life was like for our prehistoric ancestors

The Viking weekend was very interesting and great fun, thankyou. My 7 year old son learned a lot from the group, they were knowledgable and entertaining.

Flag Fen used to run a range of excellent workshops, including sword making, flint knapping etc - Will you be running any workshops in the future?
Many thanks
