Car Dyke SE of Blankney Wood is a linear earthwork of Romano-British date located in Lincolnshire. The monument comprises a substantial ditch and bank system that formed part of the wider Car Dyke complex, an extensive drainage and defensive system constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain. This section of the dyke runs southeast of Blankney Wood and represents the engineering infrastructure developed to manage water management and movement control across the fenland landscape. The earthwork survives as a notable topographical feature demonstrating Roman-period landscape organisation in the Lincolnshire Fenland.
