Discontinuous surviving sections of Roman aqueduct is a fragmentary monument comprising isolated remains of a water conveyance system dating to the Roman period in Britain. Located in Dorset, these surviving stretches represent part of the infrastructure serving Roman settlements in the region, demonstrating the engineering sophistication applied to water management during the occupation. The discontinuous nature of the surviving sections reflects both the original extent of the system and the subsequent degradation or removal of intermediate lengths over subsequent centuries. The monument provides archaeological evidence of Roman civil engineering practices and the importance of reliable water supply to Romano-British communities.
