Overview

History & significance

The Romano-British farmstead and medieval field system located approximately 100 metres south west of Bell Nook is a multi-period archaeological site in Westmorland demonstrating continuous agricultural exploitation of the landscape from the Roman period through the medieval era. The Romano-British component comprises settlement remains dating to the Roman occupation of northern England, whilst the associated field systems reflect both Roman and later medieval agricultural organisation and land use patterns. The site's survival in the archaeological record provides evidence for the transition between Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon land management practices in the upland regions of northern England. The field boundaries and settlement traces remain visible in the landscape and contribute to understanding of rural settlement hierarchies and agricultural economies in Westmorland during these periods.
