Cratendune (Medieval Latin: vallis Cracti) is the name of the lost village reported in the Liber Eliensis, the history of the abbey, then Ely Cathedral, compiled towards the end of the 12th century, as the 500th anniversary of the traditional founding date drew near.[1] As no direction is indicated in Liber Eliensis, a number of archaeological sites are therefore candidates for this lost village.
