Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the creation of a cycleway and footpath at Roman Ridge Roman Road, Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The watching brief followed on from topographical survey and evaluation undertaken by Archaeological Services WYAS (ASWYAS) in 2009 and 2010. The Roman Ridge Roman Road is a large linear earthwork that runs for approximately 5km from Scawsby to Adwick-Le-Street. The road would have formed the main Roman route between Danum (Doncaster) and Lagentium (Castleford). For much of the route it survives as a pronounced agger (raised embankment). The northern and southern sections are Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM 1179a and SAM 1179b respectively). Groundworks were designed to avoid damage to the surviving monument and involved the removal of a thin layer of topsoil from the existing path that runs along the top of the earthwork for much of its length. Little of archaeological interest was seen during the monitoring. However, a well-preserved edged cobbled surface, of probable 20th century date, was located immediately above a railway bridge and modern embankment associated with the former mineral railway of Brodsworth colliery, extending north of the designated southern section of the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 1179b).
