The Romano-British enclosed hut circle settlement located approximately 660 metres south east of Holme Bank in Lancashire is a rare survival of rural settlement evidence from the Romano-British period. The site comprises enclosed hut circles, indicating a domestic settlement pattern typical of the northern frontier regions of Roman Britain where native populations maintained traditional settlement forms alongside Roman administration. Dating to the Romano-British period, this monument represents the continuation of Iron Age settlement traditions during the Roman occupation, demonstrating the persistence of native lifeways in upland Lancashire during the first to fourth centuries AD. The enclosed layout suggests a community organised around defensive or stock management practices, characteristic of settlements in this region during this period.
