Bronze Age homes uncovered in Cambridgeshire are being compared to the Roman city Pompeii - buried by a volcanic eruption - because they provide a time capsule into Bronze Age life. 

The dwellings at Must Farm quarry, Whittlesey, were built on stilts on a river and destroyed in a fire 3,000 years ago. 

The remains plunged into the water and silt, preserving them so well that archaeologists said it felt almost "rude" to excavate them.
