Roman Ridge is a linear earthwork consisting of a bank and ditch that survives as a section approximately 370 metres in length extending from Hill Top Lane to Little Common Lane in Yorkshire. The monument is considered to represent a Roman road or military way, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The earthwork displays the characteristic physical form of Roman linear communications infrastructure, with its raised bank and parallel ditch forming a distinctive topographical feature across the landscape. This section of Roman Ridge preserves evidence of the Roman road network that connected military and civilian settlements across northern England during the first and second centuries AD.
