Car Dyke W of Martin Wood is a linear earthwork of Romano-British date located in Lincolnshire. The monument consists of a substantial ditch and bank system that formed part of the wider Car Dyke complex, a significant drainage and defensive system of the Roman period. This section of the dyke represents the engineering infrastructure characteristic of Roman occupation and management of the Fenland landscape. The earthwork survives as a visible archaeological feature that contributes to the understanding of Roman settlement patterns and hydraulic engineering in East Anglia.
