Two sections of a Roman road on Ot Moor is a scheduled monument consisting of two surviving stretches of metalled Roman roadway situated in Oxfordshire. The road sections, which remain visible as raised linear features, represent part of the Roman road network that connected settlements and military installations across Roman Britain. Dating to the Roman period, the monument demonstrates the characteristic construction techniques employed by Roman engineers, including compacted stone metalling laid to facilitate movement of troops, goods, and official traffic. The preservation of these sections on Ot Moor provides evidence of the extent and distribution of Roman infrastructure in the region during the occupation period.
