Roman Ridge is a section of linear earthwork measuring approximately 130 metres in length, situated within Dyson's Plantation in Yorkshire. The feature represents a surviving segment of what appears to be a Roman road or associated military earthwork, though the exact chronological attribution and functional purpose require specialist assessment. The monument survives as a raised bank or ridge formation in the landscape, characteristic of Roman engineering infrastructure in northern Britain. This surviving section contributes to our understanding of Roman communications and territorial control in the region during the period of military occupation.
