Abstract:		 Fifteen evaluation trenches were excavated as part of a continuing programme of archaeological work in advance of development. The area excavated lay along the proposed route of the South Caxton Bypass, covering an area of c.6ha, to the east of the village of Caxton. Significant archaeological features were identified within two trenches (592 and 593) at the southern end of the proposed route, at the junction of the proposed bypass and the present A1198. These features consisted of the fragmentary remains of a possible Roman road with an associated wide flanking ditch, possibly up to 15m in width, immediately to the east. These remains may have formed part of the Ermine Street Roman road, which was known to approximately lie along the line of the present A1198. Within the remaining trenches further to the north, no significant evidence for any possible settlement or other archaeological activity was uncovered. [Au(abr)]
