Howerigg settlement is a prehistoric or early historic enclosed settlement located in Westmorland in the north-west of England. The site comprises the remains of a substantial rectilinear enclosure defined by banks and ditches, within which are traces of internal structures including what appear to be hut platforms or house sites. The monument likely dates to the Iron Age or Romano-British period, representing a significant example of upland settlement in the region during these centuries. The earthwork remains, though eroded, preserve evidence of how communities exploited and organized the landscape in this area during antiquity.
