Both Fleam Dyke and the Roman Road are archaeological sites of national importance, and large sections of each are scheduled ancient monuments.

Fleam Dyke was constructed in the early Anglo-Saxon period to act as a territorial marker between the kingdoms of East Anglia and Mercia while the Roman Road probably follows the route of a prehistoric trackway that continued in use into the Roman period, linking the small town at Cambridge with the Icknield Way and beyond.
