Bronze Age Livestock - Flag Fen Archaeology Park - Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Flora and Fauna Information Signs on Waymarking.com

An info board telling us about the types of livestock that may have been seen at Flag Fen in the Bronze Age.
The sheep kept here are Soay Sheep, descendants of the Neolithic sheep brought here by settlers 3000 years ago.

"Flag Fen, east of Peterborough, England, is a Bronze Age site developed about 3500 years ago, comprising over 60,000 timbers, arranged in five very long rows, creating a wooden causeway (around 1 km long) across the wet fenland. Part way across the structure, a small island was formed. Items associated with it have led scholars to conclude the island was a site of religious ceremonies and significance. Archaeological work began in 1982 at the site, which is located 800 m (0.5 miles) east of Fengate. Flag Fen is now part of the Greater Fens Museum Partnership. A visitor centre has been constructed on site, and some areas have been reconstructed, including a typical Iron Age roundhouse dwelling."
