Staploe Archaeology Group was established in 2019 with the aim of researching the history of the Staploe Hundred and the surrounding area through archaeology and archaeological geophysics. The catchment area for membership is East Cambridgeshire and to the south of the Ely area. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month (January to November) in Soham and aim to run at least one training session or group activity each month.
Activities during 2025 included a two-week excavation at Little Thetford tracking the route of part of the Roman Road between Stretham and Ely and Resistivity and Ground Penetrating Radar geophysical surveys at Wisbech Castle. Magnetometry geophysical surveys have been carried out at Burwell and Little Thetford, with refresher geophysics training over two days at Margaret Field, Burwell.
