Map of Aughertree, Wigton, UK
There are at least three Iron Age settlements on the nearby fell, a neolithic causeway along with several burial mounds that have been extensively excavated in earlier centuries but without sufficient recording or controls.
It used to be a much larger village with several taverns or pubs but none now remain. Some sites of former houses and farms can be seen but these are long gone.
A historic funeral road to Uldale Old Church starts in the hamlet and follows a footpath and bridleway.
