Car Dyke is a linear earthwork of Romano-British date located in Lincolnshire, running for several miles across the landscape south of the village of Dyke. The monument consists of a substantial ditch with an associated bank, characteristic of the defensive and territorial divisions constructed during the Roman period in Britain. Car Dyke formed part of the Romano-British landscape management system, possibly serving functions relating to drainage, boundary demarcation, or military defence in this part of the Fens. The earthwork survives as an upstanding or partially visible archaeological feature and remains significant as evidence of Roman engineering and land organisation in the East Midlands region.
