A suspected Iron Age road, made of timber and preserved in peat for 2,000 years, has been uncovered by archaeologists in East Anglia.

The site, excavated in June, may have been part of a route across the River Waveney and surrounding wetland at Geldeston in Norfolk, say experts.

Causeways were first found in the area in 2006, during flood defence work at the nearby Suffolk town of Beccles.

It is thought the road is pre-Roman, built by the local Iceni tribe.

Exact dating has yet to be carried out but tree-ring evidence suggests a date of 75BC.

1. It's amazing to me when they find "new" stuff in Great Britain.

One would think everything has been found that could be found there, due to the length of time it's been occupied by humans.

5. Problem in that time, people have piled a lot of shit on top of...

...what was already there.
