Excavations at West Fen Road, Ely in advance of an Anglia Water pipeline and pumping station produced evidence of Late Iron Age settlement. The surviving evidence consisted mainly of ditches with occasional pits and gullies. The pottery recovered dated the settlement to c. AD 1/10to AD 50/60. The quantity of finds was high and with the recovery of two decorated artefacts was perhaps suggestive of more than a 'normal' agricultural settlement.
