The River Wey aqueduct at Bramshott Court is a putative Roman water-management feature in the upper Wey valley on the Surrey/Hampshire border, presumed active during the Roman period (1st–4th centuries AD). Its precise form — whether a leat, channel, or more substantial conduit — is not securely established, and it likely served a local rural establishment rather than an urban centre.
