Old Abingdon Road Culverts is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of underground stone-built drainage structures located in Berkshire. The culverts date to the Roman period and represent examples of Roman engineering infrastructure, likely associated with road construction and water management systems in the wider landscape of Roman Britain. The structures demonstrate the technical capability of Roman builders in creating durable underground works designed to manage water flow beneath important routes. As surviving physical evidence of Roman civil engineering, the culverts contribute to understanding the development and maintenance of Roman road networks and associated infrastructure in the region.
