Settlement on W slope of The Tongue, Troutbeck Park is a prehistoric or early medieval settlement located on the western slope of The Tongue in Troutbeck Park, Westmorland. The site comprises the remains of structures and field systems that reflect patterns of land use and habitation in the upland regions of the Lake District during the later prehistoric or early medieval period. The archaeological evidence suggests settlement organisation characteristic of pastoral communities exploiting the fell landscape, though detailed chronological attribution requires further investigation.
