Black Beck North prehistoric cairnfield is a Bronze Age monument located on Birkby Fell in Cumberland, comprising a dispersed field of stone cairns typical of upland prehistoric burial and ceremonial landscapes. The cairnfield sits at approximately 950 metres south-south-west of the confluence of Linbeck Gill and Black Beck, in terrain characteristic of the Lake District uplands where such monuments are frequently encountered. These cairns represent evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use on the fells, reflecting the exploitation of marginal upland areas during prehistory. The site forms part of the broader archaeological complex of cairnfields and associated monuments that define the prehistoric archaeology of the Cumbrian uplands.
