Car Dyke is a Romano-British linear earthwork situated in Park Wood near the A15 in Lincolnshire. The monument comprises an embanked ditch system that formed part of the extensive Car Dyke network, a series of drainage channels and defensive works constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain, likely between the first and fourth centuries. The earthwork in Park Wood represents a significant example of Romano-British hydraulic engineering and territorial boundary demarcation in the Fens region. The survival of this upstanding archaeological feature contributes to the understanding of Roman-period land management and settlement patterns in Lincolnshire.
