A Prehistoric enclosure and trackway, and a Romano-British farmstead WNW of Fingland is an ancient monument complex in Cumberland, England, comprising archaeological remains dating to both prehistoric and Romano-British periods. The site contains evidence of a prehistoric enclosure with associated trackway, indicating settlement or pastoral activity in the pre-Roman iron age, alongside later Romano-British occupation in the form of a farmstead. The farmstead represents rural agricultural settlement during the Roman period, typical of the indigenous farming communities that persisted in the north of Roman Britain. The monument demonstrates continuity of land use across significant chronological periods and provides evidence for understanding settlement patterns and landscape exploitation in the Pennine region.
