Abstract
Between 9th October and 23rd November 2004, the Archaeological Field Unit (AFU) of Cambridgeshire County Council conducted archaeological monitoring on the route of a water pipeline from School Road to near Saxon Hall, in the parish of Wood Ditton. The work was commissioned by Anglian Water. Eight test pits; each approximately 3.0m in length and 0.8m wide were machine excavated.
One test pit had two small ditches present within it. The proximity of these ditches to a known Roman road and the Icknield Way (Prehistoric Routeway) and their provisional alignment suggests that they were drainage ditches for the southern side of Icknield Way.
