The Bronze Age post alignment and timber platform at Flag Fen is a prehistoric timber structure located in Northamptonshire that provides evidence of organised construction and settlement activity during the Bronze Age period. The site comprises a substantial alignment of wooden posts together with an associated timber platform, alongside Bronze Age and later field systems and settlement remains positioned to either side of the Northey Road. The post alignment represents a significant example of Bronze Age timber engineering and suggests purposeful layout of the landscape, whilst the associated field systems and settlement evidence demonstrate continuity and development of occupation across multiple periods. The archaeological remains are indicative of Bronze Age community organisation and land management practices in the East Midlands region.
