Abstract:		 A pipe trench beside the Car Dyke in the village of Dyke cut through at least five intercutting flat-bottomed pits thought to be of late 12th or 13th century date. Large amounts of sizeable pottery sherds were found (apparently derived from a single deposit within one pit). These may have been rubbish from the village centre or from an unlocated contemporary dwelling slightly further south from the Car Dyke. The pottery assemblage was uncharacteristic of the region. Ridge and furrow close to the site had been levelled in places by tipped building material of probable post-medieval date - this levelling obscured and relationship between the furrows and the area of pits. Away from these features a medieval headland beside the Car Dyke had been re-used as a hedge strip. A decayed stone and brick bridge across the Car Dyke was observed beyond the pipe trench. The existing stream was found to overlie a peat-filled channel centred on the northern side of the present feature. This overlay a broad clay-filled feature on the northern side which was interpreted as the actual course of the Roman canal. In Morton the trench cut through an area of archaeological features identified from cropmarks but no dateable features were observed. A large ditch and associated upcast bank may have been part of a Romano-British settlement. Three worked flintes were collected. A peat deposit was found beneath the modern stream. [Au]
