Roman Ridge is a length of Roman road preserved as an earthwork in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises approximately 480 metres of the road surface extending eastward from Dyson's Cottage towards Long Plantation, surviving as a raised bank or agger characteristic of Roman road construction. Dating to the Roman period, the road represents part of the infrastructure network developed during the occupation of Britain, though the precise dating and route assignment remain subjects of archaeological study. The earthwork demonstrates the durability of Roman engineering, with the characteristic linear form and elevated profile of Roman roads remaining visible in the modern landscape despite the passage of nearly two millennia.
