Round Barrow in Cambridgeshire. The lives of the bronze age people who settled, worked and traded in East Cambridgeshire are shrouded in mystery. But a dedicated band of volunteers in Sutton is throwing light on this integral part of our past, and look set to make real advances in our archaeological understanding of East Cambridgeshire in the new year.
For more than three years now, a group of volunteers, who have named themselves the Sutton Archaeological Group, have worked steadily to excavate a Bronze Age barrow at the village's gravel pits.
The barrow - a Bronze Age burial mound - has already provided a glimpse into the activities of the people in the area, but the team hopes to dig deeper and even uncover some human remains.
The project began after villager Gill Shapland decided an application could be made to the Local Heritage Initiative to investigate Sutton's Bronze Age past.
