Bob Smith from the Fenland Archaeology Society (FenArch) gave a most interesting talk to the March Society. He explained that the FenArch was formed in 2009 following excavations at Wisbech Castle.

A lot of pottery has been found there – much of it brought to the surface over the years during ploughing.
