Haweswater Romano-British farmstead is a native settlement of the Roman period situated in Westmorland. The site comprises the remains of agricultural enclosures and structures characteristic of Romano-British rural settlement patterns, representing the continuation of indigenous farming practices during the Roman occupation of northern Britain. Dating to the Roman period, the farmstead demonstrates the persistence of native agricultural communities in the upland regions of the Lake District, where Roman military infrastructure and urban centres exerted limited direct control. The monument's survival as an archaeological site provides evidence for understanding the economy and settlement hierarchy of Romano-British Westmorland beyond the major Roman installations of the region.
