Brown Rigg prehistoric cairnfield is a Bronze Age monument located in Cumberland, consisting of a dispersed grouping of burial cairns situated approximately 375 metres east of Woodend Bridge. The cairnfield comprises multiple stone cairns typical of upland Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England, representing settlement and ceremonial activity on the higher moorland during the second millennium BC. The site's survival as an archaeological landscape preserves evidence of prehistoric land use patterns and burial customs across what is now open moorland. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and represents an important component of the wider Bronze Age archaeological resource in the Cumbrian uplands.
