Low Hesket is a village in Cumberland, on the A6 road, 8½ miles south of Carlisle.
The A6 here is a former Roman road, and a milestone from that era has been discovered there inscribed IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINO P F INV AVG, which expands to Imperator Caesar Flavius Valerius Constantinus Pius Felix Invictus Augustus, dating it from the time of Constantine The Great, who ruled from 307 to 337.[1]
