Roman piers and revetment in the River Itchen is a submerged archaeological monument consisting of structural remains positioned within the riverbed near Winchester in Hampshire. The features date to the Roman period and represent elements of river engineering and port infrastructure associated with the settlement at Winchester, which served as an important administrative and commercial centre during Roman Britain. The piers and revetment walls would have functioned to manage water flow, prevent erosion, and facilitate river traffic and the loading and unloading of goods. These remains survive as significant evidence of Roman civil engineering practices adapted to riverine environments in Britain.
