On the 9th December 2013 a series of small archaeological trenches were excavated at New Farm, Landbeach (centred on TL 478 665), totalling 66m. The work was commissioned by James Matthews in response to a request from the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET). Two parallel ditches were recorded during the evaluation in Trench 3, situated on the projected line of Akeman Street, the Roman Road. The two ditches were 11m apart on their inside edge with evidence of a 'B' horizon soil between them, but no evidence for metalling or other form of road surface.
