Three Romano-British settlements on Aughertree Fell in Cumberland comprise small enclosed or semi-enclosed enclosures characteristic of native farmsteads occupied during the Roman period. Associated with these settlements is an irregular aggregate field system representing the pastoral and arable land use patterns contemporary with Roman occupation in this upland region. A bowl barrow positioned within the landscape testifies to earlier Bronze Age funerary practice at this location, demonstrating the palimpsest of human activity spanning from prehistory through the Roman period. The monument complex illustrates the continuity and evolution of settlement patterns in the Cumbrian uplands across multiple periods of antiquity.
