Overview

History & significance

Romano-British farmstead 650m south east of Whingill is a Roman period agricultural settlement located in Westmorland in the north-west of England. The site dates to the Romano-British period and represents the type of rural farming community that existed across northern Britain during Roman occupation and the immediate post-Roman period. The farmstead would have served as a centre of agricultural production, typical of the dispersed settlement pattern found in the upland regions of the northwest, supporting both subsistence farming and possibly some surplus production for local exchange or Roman military provisioning. Archaeological evidence from such sites in this region has contributed to understanding of Romano-British rural economy and the continuity of settlement patterns from Roman through to early medieval periods.
