Fen Edge Archaeology Group was formed in 2008 and our principal aim is to promote further understanding of the archaeology in the parishes of Willingham, Rampton, Cottenham, Landbeach and Waterbeach, which are in the county of Cambridgeshire.  The group takes its name from its origins in the Fen Edge Community Association.

Romano-British Project

In 2011 FEAG started a new project on a Romano-British site in the fen edge area.  This work was performed with collaboration from the Cambridge Antiquarian Society (CAS) and is being overseen by a professional archaeologist.  To date activities have involved literary research for excavations and finds in the surrounding area, geophysical survey (resistivity and magnetometer), a molehill survey (looking for finds in molehills), metal detecting and two weeks of excavating sample trenches in the summer.  This entailed the investigation of features identified by geophysics to help understand their meaning and significance.

In 2012 FEAG held a meeting to discuss the finds so far and the plans for continuation of the project into 2012 and beyond.  Members can log in to read more.
