A Roman period native settlement situated at Force Garth, in Upper Teesdale. The settlement is visible as a rubble banked enclosure at a bend in Smithy Sike. Within the enclosure are the remains of a complex of circular, oval and rectangular buildings, forming an 'L'-shape. Two hut circles outside the enclosure on its north side are partly obscured by stone dumped in 1945. The settlement was partly excavated in 1972-4. Finds from the excavation included an animal bone, spindle whorls, coarse pottery and quern stone fragments. Charcoal from the excavation was radio-carbon dated to about the 1st century AD. Scheduled (16).
