Wickerslack Moor is a Romano-British enclosed stone hut circle settlement with an associated field system located in Westmorland in the north-west of England. The site comprises multiple stone-built circular or oval structures typical of upland settlement in the Roman period, arranged within an enclosed area alongside contemporary field divisions that reflect pastoral and agricultural land use. The settlement dates to the Romano-British period, representing the continuation and adaptation of native British settlement patterns during Roman occupation, and reflects the integration of local communities into the wider economic systems of Roman Britain. The stone hut circles and their field boundaries survive as earthwork and structural remains that illuminate the character of rural life in the upland regions of northern Britain during this transformative period.
