Caddam Wood Roman road is a Roman communications route in Angus, Scotland, forming part of the network of military roads constructed during the Roman occupation of northern Britain. The road dates to the Roman period, likely constructed in the first or second century AD as part of the infrastructure supporting Roman military campaigns and administration in Scotland. The surviving section preserves evidence of the characteristic Roman road construction, including its raised agger or metalled surface, visible as an earthwork feature within the woodland landscape. This road represents an important element of Roman strategic planning in Tayside, facilitating movement of troops and supplies through the terrain of eastern Scotland.
