A Roman road on the eastern edge of Beaulieu Heath is a length of metalled way dating to the Roman period, positioned approximately 220 metres north-east of Hardley Bridge Ford in Hampshire. The road survives as a visible earthwork feature characteristic of Roman road construction, showing the characteristic raised causeway or agger typical of roads built during the occupation of Roman Britain. Such roads formed part of the extensive network that facilitated military movement, trade, and administrative control across the province, with this particular stretch contributing to regional connectivity in the Hampshire area. The survival of the road as an archaeological monument indicates its historical significance in understanding Roman infrastructure and land use patterns in southern England.
