Roman Ridge is a section of Roman road preserved for approximately 135 yards (120 metres) east of Hoober House in Yorkshire, England. The surviving stretch represents part of the substantial road network constructed by Roman authorities during their occupation of Britain, likely dating to the first and second centuries AD. The monument retains physical evidence of Roman road construction techniques, visible as an elevated earthwork that demonstrates the characteristic engineering of Roman linear infrastructure across the landscape. As a surviving example of Roman road engineering in Yorkshire, this section contributes to understanding the strategic communications and military logistics that underpinned Roman provincial administration in northern Britain.
