Wickerslack Moor is a Romano-British enclosed stone hut circle settlement with associated field system located in Westmorland. The site comprises multiple stone-built roundhouses positioned within an enclosed settlement, characteristic of upland agricultural communities during the Romano-British period, likely dating to the first to fourth centuries AD. The settlement's layout and construction reflect adaptation to the moorland environment, with field boundaries surviving as linear features in the surrounding landscape, indicating organised pastoral or mixed farming activity. Such monuments are significant for understanding rural settlement patterns and economic strategies in the upland regions of Roman Britain, where native settlement forms persisted alongside or independently of lowland Romano-British developments.
