I look at that place and think: Yep, pretty sure life was good down there.
Yes, very probable! Prosperous too: heart of Nene Valley pottery industry, a major mass-production industry :) Also palace on hill above!
Ohhh, who's castle? Some Norman chap?
Roman (mid3rd to ?5thC)! Poss palatial complex for administrator of massive Imperial Fenland estate? Site became 7thC Anglo-Saxon minster :)pic.twitter.com/Bi73DF71LF
