Two sections of a Roman road on Ot Moor is a scheduled ancient monument comprising surviving earthwork traces of a Roman road in Oxfordshire. The monument consists of two distinct sections of road, visible as linear features across the moor landscape, and dates to the Roman period when the road network formed a crucial infrastructure for military movement and economic exchange across Britain. The road's alignment and construction method reflect standard Roman engineering practices of the period, though the specific routing and associated settlements served by this route require local archaeological and historical investigation for full understanding. The survival of these sections as earthwork remains demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of Roman road construction techniques in the English landscape.
