Millrigg is a Romano-British enclosed settlement located in Westmorland, comprising a group of hut circles within a defined enclosure. The site dates to the Roman period and represents evidence of native British settlement patterns during the occupation of northern England. The hut circles themselves are characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British domestic architecture in upland regions, where circular stone-founded structures provided shelter in challenging terrain. The enclosed arrangement suggests a deliberate defensive or organisational strategy typical of rural settlements in the northern frontier zone of Roman Britain.
