Section of Roman road on Pertwood Down is a length of Roman road preserved as an earthwork in Wiltshire. The road dates to the Roman period and forms part of the network of communications that connected Romano-British settlements and military installations across southern England. The surviving section is visible as a raised linear feature or agger, the characteristic construction method employed by Roman engineers whereby material was heaped to form a metalled surface elevated above the surrounding ground. This particular stretch on Pertwood Down represents important evidence for understanding Romano-British infrastructure and transport routes in the region.
