Must Farm is a Bronze Age archeological site consisting of five houses raised on stilts above a river and built around 950 BC in Cambridgeshire, England.[1] The settlement is exceptionally well preserved because of its sudden destruction by catastrophic fire and subsequent collapse onto oxygen-depleted river silts. [2][3]
The site is on the bed of a now-defunct river in Flag Fen basin,[4] around 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of Flag Fen itself.
The site has been described as "Britain's Pompeii" because of its condition[1][5] and was named Best Archaeological Project and Best Archaeological Discovery at the 2012 British Archaeological Awards, and Best Discovery at the 2016 Awards.[6][7] An article describing the settlement won the Antiquity Prize 2020.[2][8]
