Peterborough: Bronze Age boats conservation gets funding

Eight “internationally significant” Bronze Age wooden boats found in a quarry have been awarded funding for ongoing conservation work.

The vessels were discovered by archaeologists as they excavated land at Must Farm near Peterborough in 2011.

Historic England has awarded £73,261 to preserve the log boats as part of a three-year project.

Tony Calladine, from the heritage organisation, said the boats were “incredibly rare”.
