Heck Beck is a Romano-British enclosed stone hut circle settlement located in Bannerdale, Westmorland. The site consists of stone-built circular or sub-circular structures characteristic of upland Romano-British settlement patterns in northern England, likely dating to the first or second centuries AD. The settlement's enclosed layout reflects the defensive and pastoral concerns of communities inhabiting the Pennine uplands during the Roman period.
