Roman Ridge is a section of Roman road approximately 550 metres in length situated between Jenkin Lane and Tylers Street in Yorkshire. The surviving earthwork, designated as an ancient monument, represents part of a significant route within the Roman road network of northern England. The ridge itself exhibits the characteristic raised profile typical of Roman road construction, created through deliberate metalling and compaction of the surface. This section remains an important archaeological witness to Roman transport infrastructure and civil engineering practices in the region.
