Bainesse Roman roadside settlement and Anglian cemetery is a multi-period archaeological site located in North Yorkshire, England, comprising both Roman and early medieval components. The Roman element represents a roadside settlement associated with the routeway connecting military installations in the region, reflecting the infrastructure and settlement patterns of Roman Britain. The Anglian cemetery, dating to the early medieval period, indicates subsequent Anglo-Saxon use of the locality and demonstrates the continuity of settlement activity at strategically significant locations following the Roman withdrawal from Britain. The site's archaeological record provides evidence for both civilian occupation during the Roman period and burial practices during the early Anglo-Saxon era, making it significant for understanding settlement continuity and post-Roman transitions in northern England.
