Up above the Eden Valley in Westmorland - Cumbria in new money - is Castle Folds, a truly unique Romano British settlement.

Surrounded by treacherous limestone pavements and bleak moorland, there were people living here behind extraordinarily defensive walls, 2,000 years ago.

And the signs are that things came to a violent end.

How "Roman" were these people and who were they so concerned about? We conduct an antiquarian survey and try to work out what might have happened.
