Not quite the original Roman alignment, some of this stretch is part of the 20th century diversion when the railway was built.
Car Dyke

A 57-mile man made ancient drainage watercourse between Lincoln and Peterborough. The circumstantial evidence points to the skill of Roman engineers but documentary evidence is inconclusive, though it is generally assumed to be Roman.
It was originally thought to continue south of Peterborough to the Waterbeach canal, north east of Cambridge, but no link has been proven.
