The Norfolk Fens

The Fenland Project: from survey to management and beyond

“…The Fenland Project of eastern England has been one of Britain's largest wetland surveys, funded by the Department of the Environment/English Heritage over a period of nearly 20 years. An early note about the Project appeared in ANTI-QUITY (Coles & Hall 1983) and an extensive treatment, forming a Special Section in ANTIQUITY for 1988, set out the discoveries in Cambridgeshire (Hall 1988), Lincolnshire (Lane 1988;Hayes 1988) and Norfolk (Silvester 1988a). The field surveys were associated with aerial photographic work (Palmer 1988) and a wide-ranging environmental programme (Waller 1988).…”
