Castle Howe near Fell Foot Farm at the head of Little Langdale in the Lake District, Cumbria.
This craggy outcrop at the foot of Wrynose Pass is the site of an Iron Age Hillfort. It overlooks the Roman road from Ambleside to Ravenglass and The Ting Mound, a Viking / Medieval meeting place at Fell Foot. This close proximity to a medieval moot suggests this area has a long tradition as an assembly point and the hillfort may have been re-used or re-built in post-Roman times.
