Section of the Car Dyke between Whitepost Road and Fen Bridge is a linear earthwork of Roman date forming part of the Car Dyke system. The dyke consists of a ditch and associated bank that runs through the Nene Valley in Northamptonshire, constructed during the Roman period as part of a larger network of water management and defensive features. This particular section, extending between Whitepost Road and Fen Bridge, represents one of the surviving portions of what was originally a more extensive Roman engineering scheme. The Car Dyke is thought to have served multiple functions, including drainage, water supply, and possibly boundary definition within the Roman landscape of the East Midlands.
