Roman Ridge is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of a linear earthwork approximately 300 metres in length, located south of Dog Kennel Pond within Wentworth Park in Yorkshire. The monument takes the form of a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age territorial boundaries or Roman-period field systems that marked landscape divisions in northern Britain. Its precise dating and function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though its morphology is consistent with Romano-British period land management and estate organisation. The earthwork survives as a significant topographical feature within the park landscape and is protected as a scheduled monument under designation NHLE list entry 1004833.
