As stated before i believe the Angles held the high ground they named Cliffland aka Cleveland long before Rome arrived in other parts of Britain, they were recruited by Rome as long respected mercenaries and paid well for their defence of the North east, already settled in Cleveland and controlling the coast line Rome would have to respect their occupation of this land hence no known Roman military occupation of Cleveland
The image shows how the Angles would of appeared to any enemy, no wonder Rome decided to employ rather than fight them in the Cleveland hills. the Angles originated from the area we now call central Denmark and Southern Sweden, and could well have called Cleveland home long before Rome arrived in other parts of Britain, the Saxons however arrived long after this in the South of Britain and were a minority that had no dominance on the Angle lands, so the modern term Anglo Saxon is a myth and totally incorrect in describing our Ancestors as a whole.
Many place names in modern Cleveland can be found in the areas of what is now central Denmark and Southern Sweden including Middleboro meaning middle bridge - Saltholme - Ormeslev - More soon
