Forcegarth Roman Period Farm
Forcegarth Pasture North in Upper Teesdale, County Durham is a Romano-British farmstead inhabited during the first century AD, during the Roman occupation of Northern Britain.
It was excavated during 1972 to 1974 by Mr D. Coggins and Dr K. Fairless. Although the site had been known about locally for
many years, it had not previously been investigated.
Before it was excavated it could be clearly seen as a grass covered mound up to a metre in height which enclosed an area of about
35 metres. Inside this enclosure the remains of a slightly raised platform could be seen. This platform is where the house
complex was, appearing before the excavation as three circular features.
We have used the information from the excavation to
reconstruct a model of what daily life might have been like in the first century AD at Forcegarth. Using the tabs above you
can move between reconstructions of the site as images and video clips, as well as VRML virtual reality model. You can also examine
the site archive.
