Two round cairns, three Romano-British settlements and aggregate field systems at Severals and Intake, and Smardale Gill lime kilns and quarry is a complex of archaeological monuments in Westmorland spanning multiple periods of use. The site comprises Bronze Age round cairns, Romano-British settlement evidence including three distinct occupation sites with associated field systems, and post-medieval lime kilns and quarrying infrastructure at Smardale Gill. The Romano-British settlements represent significant evidence of rural exploitation and agricultural activity during the Roman occupation period, whilst the field systems demonstrate contemporary land organisation and use. The later lime kilns and quarry illustrate industrial activity in the post-medieval period, indicating the site's continuing importance for resource extraction across the landscape.
