Set in the context of this project's innovative landscape surveys, four
extraordinary sites excavated at Haddenham, north of Cambridge chart the
transformation of Neolithic woodland to Romano-British marshland,
providing unrivalled insights into death and ritual in a changing
prehistoric environment. The highlight of Volume I is the
internationally renowned Foulmire Fen long barrow, with its preserved
timber burial chamber and façade. The massive individual timbers allow
detailed study of Neolithic wood technology and the direct examination
of a structure that usually survives only as a pattern of post holes.
