Burnt Fen is an area of low-lying land crossed by the A1101 road between Littleport in Cambridgeshire and Mildenhall in Suffolk [1]. It is surrounded on three sides by rivers, and consists of prime agricultural land [1]. Burnt Fen is located near the eastern borders of the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire, although parts of it are also located in Suffolk and Norfolk [1]. The area shows a remarkable amount of archaeological findings of the Mesolithic period [1].
