Roman Fort and sections of Roman Roads is a scheduled ancient monument in Lancashire comprising a Roman military installation and associated road infrastructure. The fort dates to the Roman occupation of Britain, representing an important element of the frontier defence and communication network established across the province. The site preserves remains of the fort's ditches and ramparts alongside visible sections of Roman road metalling, which provide evidence of both the structural engineering and strategic importance of Roman military infrastructure in this region. These physical remains contribute significantly to understanding Roman military organisation and road construction techniques during the occupation period.
