Two sections of Roman road on Pickering Moor is a length of Roman road surface surviving in situ on the North Yorkshire moors. The road dates to the Roman occupation of Britain, likely constructed during the first or second century AD as part of the military infrastructure connecting Roman settlements and forts in the region. The surviving sections preserve evidence of the characteristic Roman road construction, including the agger or raised embankment and metalling visible on the moorland surface. This monument represents an important survival of Roman transport infrastructure in the upland areas of northern Britain and demonstrates the extent of Roman road networks beyond the more densely settled lowland zones.
