Archaeological evidence, mostly based on aerial surveys of crop marks, suggests that Stockdalewath was a rural settlement in Roman Cumbria.Higham & Jones (1985), pp. 68-95.Shotter (2004), pp. 132-147. Within a half mile of the village are three camps thought to be Roman, with the names Castlesteads, Stoneraise, and Whitestones. They are equal distance from each other and form a triangle.{{cite book|last1=Moss|first1=Albert Barnes|title=Historical & Descriptive Guide to Carlisle and District|date=1881|publisher=A.B.
