The Roman Car Dyke, Billinghay Skirth, Lincolnshire

An archaeological evaluation by Oxford Archaeology East took place in August 2009 on the western bank of the Billinghay Skirth, a watercourse thought to follow part of the route of the Roman Car Dyke in Lincolnshire. The evaluation comprised a single 13m long trench. Deposits possibly representing a buried soil sealed beneath bank material were found. Since no dating evidence was recovered it has not been possible to positively establish whether the bank deposits relate to the Roman Car Dyke.
