Must Farm is a Bronze Age archaeological site consisting of five houses raised on stilts above a river and built around 950 BC in Cambridgeshire, England.

Some of the items the researchers found will go on display starting April 27 in an exhibition titled “Introducing Must Farm, a Bronze Age Settlement” at the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery.

The Bronze Age is the middle principal period of the three-age system, following the Stone Age and preceding the Iron Age. [1]
