Roman Ridge is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of a substantial linear earthwork located north of Dog Kennel Pond within Wentworth Park in Yorkshire. The surviving section measures approximately 460 metres in length and represents a significant example of Roman period military or administrative infrastructure, though the precise function of the ridge remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The earthwork's alignment and construction technique are consistent with Roman road building practices or the boundary works associated with military installations of the imperial period. The monument's preservation within the parkland setting has ensured its survival as an important archaeological resource for understanding Roman activity and landscape management in northern England.
