Car Dyke

Der Car Dyke ist ein 140 km langer Wassergraben im Fens in Lincolnshire. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde er von William Stukeley als historischer Transportweg gedeutet. Möglicherweise geht der Kanal wie der Foss Dyke sogar auf römische Ursprünge zurück. Später dürfte er auch als Entwässerungskanal genutzt worden sein.
