Stonea
Hamlet in Cambridgeshire, England, with iron age hill fort / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stonea is a hamlet in Cambridgeshire, England, south east of March and part of the parish of Wimblington.[1] Stonea today consists of a scattered collection of farmsteads and houses, the majority sited along Sixteen Foot Bank, a man-made river which forms part of the Middle Level Navigations. The largest settlement is on the bank near the Golden Lion pub.[2] A former Primitive Methodist chapel is now a private residence.[1]

This part of Stonea is dissected by a staffed railway crossing on the Ely to Peterborough Line; Stonea railway station closed in 1966. The underpass neighbouring the bridge (which provides a diversion avoiding the level crossing) is said to be the "most bashed rail bridge in Britain", with 33 truck and van strikes in one 12 month period.[3][4]
