Iron age excavations at High Carlingill have shed light on historic local-Roman relations.

At the next Appleby Archaeology Group's meeting, members will uncover four years worth of digging.

Lunesdale Archaeology Society's investigations have revealed that the Romano-British site, near Tebay, was established in the first or second centuries BC.

Evidence suggests local Britons traded with their Roman counterparts rather than clashed with them, exchanging meat, grain, and even labour for goods.

Local archaeologist and Lunesdale chair, Jan Hicks will discuss the enlightening findings on November 9, at 7.30pm in Appleby.

The research was supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Non-members are welcome to join, the group said.
