Millennium Seat (II) - Flag Fen Archaeology Park - Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Made for the Millennium on Waymarking.com

A bench beside a pond at the Flag Fen Archaeology Park, placed for the millennium.
The bench was sponsored by ITV to make the new millennium a 'Year of Promise', and bears the pledges of sponsors. Such pledges include 'I will donate all my organs in the event of my death' and 'I will give give all my unwanted articles to charity shops'.

"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."
