Embleton[1] is a small village and civil parish located in the Cumberland district in Cumbria, England.

It is located east of Cockermouth on the A66 road, and within the boundaries of the Lake District National Park.

Sometime around 1854 a schoolmaster digging in commonland at Embleton came across a hoard of weapons dating to the 1st century AD, the transition between the Late Iron Age and Early Roman period.

It comprised three iron spearheads and two swords, one of which was in a decorated copper-alloy scabbard.

The latter object can now be seen in the British Museum[4] Embleton is within the Penrith and Solway UK Parliamentary constituency.
