Car Dyke is an ancient linear earthwork located in Cambridgeshire that extends between Green End and Top Moor. The monument is a substantial ditch and bank system that dates to the Roman period, likely constructed during the first or second century AD, and served defensive or boundary purposes within the landscape of Roman Britain. The dyke represents an important example of Roman engineering and territorial organisation in the East Anglian region. Its preservation as an upstanding earthwork makes it a significant archaeological resource for understanding settlement patterns and land management during the Roman occupation of Britain.
