Inside the Preservation Hall you will see a preserved section of the Bronze Age post-alignment or timber causeway. These timbers are left exactly as they were found by archaeologists when they were uncovered. This is a unique opportunity to see part of such a monumental structure from 3,300 years ago. While the causeway was being built, water levels in the fen were rising. When the Romans came to Britain the causeway and platform were already covered with waterlogged peat and clay. This layer stopped the timbers from rotting along with many other objects deposited here. The preservatFon hall has a water system which was specially designed to keep the timbers wet and preserved for you to see. Some of the wonderful artefacts found can be seen on display in the museum.
