Two Romano-British enclosed settlements and an associated regular aggregate field system at Waitby Intake is a complex of archaeological remains dating to the Roman period located in Westmorland. The monument comprises two distinct enclosed settlements accompanied by a systematic field arrangement, representing evidence of Romano-British agricultural organisation and settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern England. The regular aggregate field system indicates planned land division contemporaneous with or succeeding the settlement phases, suggesting organised pastoral or mixed farming practices during the Roman occupation period. The site demonstrates the extent of Romano-British activity in the Pennine uplands and contributes to understanding of rural settlement hierarchies and economic strategies in Roman Britain.
