When the Anglo-Saxon settlers enclosed the marsh for pasture, and the tide no longer reached the haven, it silted-up, whereby Bicker ceased to be a port and became a farming village.

The boundary with South Holland at Donington follows the Old Eau to the south-east, passing the northern edge of Rabbit Hills Farm.

The boundary with Swineshead follows to the north-west along a drain south of East Low Grounds, and includes Bicker Gauntlet.

The village has a post office with a shop,[4] and a parish church dedicated to St Swithin.

Bicker Fen substation is also the landing site for a 1,400 MW power cable from Denmark called Viking Link,[8] as well as the proposed offshore wind farm Triton Knoll.

Archaeological excavations carried out there in advance of construction revealed two distinctly different enclosure systems (on a raised roddon) were uncovered at Bicker Fen.

A series of interlinked enclosures were part of a Roman mid-2nd century AD farmstead which had an economic focus on beef production.
