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 Site'). This work followed on from similar watching brief undertaken on an adjacent part of Roman Ridge (Wessex Archaeology 2012). 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 1003672; previously 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. In addition, a total of sixteen small pits were dug for the installation of gates and handrails. No archaeologically significant features or artefacts were observed. The surface of the Roman road was not encountered, suggesting that, for this stretch of the monument, the original level of the road has eroded away. The main body of the earthwork agger was shown to consist of orange brown silt.
