Knighton Roman road is a scheduled ancient monument in Wiltshire comprising a length of Roman road surface extending from Reddish Gore towards a reservoir. The road survives as a raised agger or embankment with metalled surface, characteristic of Roman highway construction in Britain. The monument represents part of the wider network of Roman roads that facilitated military and commercial movement across southern England during the Romano-British period. The preservation of the agger and its material composition provides archaeological evidence for Roman engineering practices and the strategic importance of road infrastructure in the province of Britannia.
