More information : (TF 189 073). In December 1993, RCHME's Cambridge Field Office carried out an analytical earthwork survey of the Borough Fen Iron Age enclosure [TF 10 NE 17], following a request from Cambridgeshire County Council. Some 90m to the south-west of the outer ditch, four closely-spaced ditches extend for at least 230m approximately south-east to north-west. The four ditches are separated from each other by approximately 2m and appear to run roughly parallel to the western edge of the enclosure. Their date and purpose are uncertain, but their form is similar to other later prehistoric or early Medieval boundary ditches in East Anglia. The ditches do not survive as earthworks but can be seen on a CUCAP aerial photograph. (1a, 1b)
