New archeological evidence is provoking further questions at Maryport's Roman Settlement.

It is believed the site dates back to 300 AD and was home to a Roman fort and a harbour.

Recently recovered artefacts, such as jewellery and pottery, suggests that this was an area of trade with other parts of the Roman Empire.

It is hoped that digging further will give details about how people lived and the significance of Maryport in the Roman frontier.
