An archaeological evaluation of Bradley Fen has traced elements of Bronze Age settlement, a Roman road and parts of a Roman fieldsystem. Echoing work carried out immediately to the east at Stonald Field, the site presented an opportunity to investigate the relationship between contemporary prehistoric occupation and Whittlesey's western fen-edge. The new Roman road represents an alternative route of the Fen Causeway that corresponds with a trackway earthwork north of Moreton's Learn.
