Archaeologists In Northern England Recently Discovered The Remains Of Roman Era Artifacts, An Early Medieval Building, And Even A Prehistoric Settlement Dating Back To The Late Neolithic Or Middle Bronze Age

A variety of stone tools and fragments of pottery were found at the site as well. In another area, the researchers stumbled across what they believed to be an early medieval grubenhaus, a type of building that was erected over a large rectangular pit. The structure also had unusual dimensions.

Furthermore, evidence of Roman farms and small villages was found. They contained various artifacts, like a copper alloy brooch and fragments of ornate tableware that had been imported from what is now France. The findings are exciting, as they shed new light on the ancient history of Cumbria.

“These discoveries will contribute significantly to our understanding of how people in the past adapted to changing environmental conditions, and we look forward to further insights as the project progresses,” said Stewart Jones, the director of the National Highways A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project.
