Little Urswick Crags is a Romano-British farmstead located in Lancashire, situated within an upland landscape characteristic of the northern frontier zone of Roman Britain. The site comprises the remains of a small agricultural settlement dating to the Roman period, reflecting the extensive rural settlement patterns that extended beyond the major military installations and towns of Roman occupation. The farmstead demonstrates the integration of Romano-British agricultural communities into the wider economic and social structures of the province, with its position in the Cumbrian uplands indicating productive land use during the first and second centuries AD. Such sites provide crucial evidence for understanding the daily life, farming practices, and domestic organisation of rural populations during the Roman occupation of Britain.
