Does Austendyke exist?
[edit]I'm not convinced, like our anonymous friend above, that there is a place called Austendike or Austendyke. There is an Austendyke road. A search of the South Holland district council web site only finds planning applications from a builder living on Austendyke. Pastscape knows nothing nearer than Cowbit, and that's a pretty good reference for locations of one sort or anohter, including shrunken villages.
Unless some evidence that it is, or was, a real place I am going to AFD it.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 09:32, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- It is on the OS map as Austendike, but Gazetteer of Historic Lincolnshire has spellings of Austindyke or Assendyke indicating it is a hamlet of Moulton. Keith D (talk) 11:22, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Agree with Robert. It may have been of notability in the past, but I can't find any evidence for this to make it even a stub. If necessary it could have a one line hamlet mention in Moulton. I would support a deletion. Here is another one - Talk:Garden Village, Lincolnshire. Acabashi (talk) 09:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

- OK, I am now convinced that Austendike is a place, once called Moulton Austendike, and a drainage feature. Oh and a road!
- Geograph contributor Richard Croft has found the following:
- Place names of Lincolnshire by EH Gooch 1945 says "AUSTENDYKE, SPALDING, Old Norse, austr, east. Eastern dike, embankment. This is a Roman Road, leading eastward from Spalding to the Moot Court at Moulton Austendyke, which is still in a good state of preservation"
- Richard points out that the Roman attribution is likely to be a romanticisation.
- As Drainage:
- Getting desperate - a foreign academic guessing at the etymology
- Ambiguous - listed with other names that are moder roads:

- So it is a place, probably once called Moulton Austendike and now called Austendike by the OS and by the South Holland bus-stop namers. And, if you google a little harder, by the census authourites for a hundred years (bored now with citations).
- But I reckon it's natural home is a mention in the Civil Parish page - Moulton, Lincolnshire.
