Overview

History & significance

Three Romano-British settlements, an irregular aggregate field system, and a bowl barrow on Aughertree Fell is a complex archaeological site in Cumberland combining evidence of multiple periods of human activity. The bowl barrow represents Bronze Age funerary practice, while the three Romano-British settlements and associated field systems demonstrate the continuation of agricultural occupation and settlement during the Roman period, when the site lay within or near the frontier region of Roman Britain. The irregular aggregate field layout reflects the practical adaptation of land use to the fell landscape, with patterns consistent with Romano-British farming practices. The site's multi-period character illustrates the sustained importance of the Aughertree Fell location across several centuries of prehistory and Roman occupation.
