Overview

History & significance

Howgill Fold is a Romano-British farmstead situated in Westmorland in the north-west of England. The site dates to the Roman period and represents the type of agricultural settlement that served the rural economy of Roman Britain away from major urban centres and military installations. The farmstead demonstrates the continuation and adaptation of indigenous settlement patterns during the Roman occupation, reflecting the integration of local populations into the broader Roman provincial system. Archaeological evidence from the site contributes to understanding the nature of rural life and land use in the northern frontier region of Roman Britain during the first and second centuries AD.
