Two sections of Roman road on Barrow Hill and Corfe Hills is a scheduled ancient monument comprising surviving segments of a Roman road located in Dorset. The road dates to the Roman period of Britain, likely constructed during the first or second century AD as part of the strategic road network that connected major settlements across the province. The surviving sections preserve evidence of the characteristic Roman engineering techniques, including the distinctive layered construction method employed for major routes. These remnants contribute to understanding the pattern of Roman communications infrastructure in south-western Britain and the local topography through which such roads were engineered.
