A pair of Roman camps and a section of a post-medieval sunken road situated in the north eastern corner of Cornbury Park is an ancient monument in Oxfordshire comprising two Roman military encampments and associated earthworks dating to the Roman occupation period. The camps represent evidence of Roman military activity in the region, with their layout and positioning reflecting typical Roman marching camp design. The post-medieval sunken road represents later use of the landscape and demonstrates the continuity of communication routes across the site through subsequent historical periods. The monument survives as earthwork remains within the parkland, preserving an important record of both Roman and early modern activity in this part of Oxfordshire.
