As much rain as we have been getting here in Ohio I may have to build causeways in my yard soon.

On the same site and above the level of the Bronze Age trackway is another historical feature, the Fen Causeway, built by the Romans in around the mid 1st century AD, shortly after the Roman invasion of Britain. A small section of this road is visible on the site and a Roman Mosaic and garden has been re-created to reference this aspect of the sites past.

Roman Mosaic at Flag Fen
It is in fact thanks to the presence of the later Roman road that the earlier Bronze Age site was discovered at all. During the 1980s the area around what is now Flag Fen was developed, and whilst clearing the Mustdyke to look for the known Roman road a timber was found, and this led to the discovery of further timbers and of Flag Fen itself. Today the Roman and Bronze Age worlds come together in events such as the living history weekends.
