History & significance

The Romano-British enclosed stone hut circle settlement and farmstead north west of Tongue House Barn is a Romano-British rural settlement located in Westmorland. The site comprises stone hut circles within an enclosure, representing a form of domestic and agricultural occupation characteristic of the Romano-British period in northern England. Such settlements document the continuation of native settlement patterns and agricultural practice during the Roman occupation, with local communities maintaining traditional roundhouse structures rather than adopting Romano-Mediterranean building forms. The monument's survival as earthwork remains provides evidence for the archaeological understanding of rural life and settlement hierarchy in the northern frontier region during the Romano-British era.
