The first Herdwick sheep probably came with Norse settlers in the 10th century. Although they may have been part of the flocks of the Cistercian monks of Furness Abbey. Either way they have been indigenous for the last 1000 years. The Herdwick is seen around the Duddon Valley, the Coniston Fells, the Buttermere Fells and through Borrowdale and Wasdale up to the highest land in England, the Scafells. The Swaledales are found throughout the northern counties of England, and on the Pennines. The Rough Fell breed roams the Howgill Fells around Kendal, Sedbergh, Tebay and up to Shap in south-east Cumbria. *

The bloody govt. should pay for the dig seeing that if one finds some ancient Roman coins or other historic relics in their garden, the government takes it.

This sort of mess encourages farmers to bulldoze any evidence of archaeological remains.

It’s England. Is there anyplace there that doesn’t have evidence of prior civilization?
