Roman Ridge is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Wentworth Park, Yorkshire. The monument survives as a section approximately 460 metres in length situated north of Dog Kennel Pond and comprises a substantial bank and ditch forming part of what is believed to be a territorial boundary or linear defensive work. The earthwork represents evidence of Iron Age land organisation and territorial demarcation in the region, typical of the period's approach to landscape division and resource management. This surviving section constitutes a scheduled ancient monument of archaeological significance for understanding pre-Roman settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
