Cairnfield is a Bronze Age cairn located approximately 500 metres north-east of Bumper Castle in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a stone burial mound characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England, dating to the second millennium BCE. The site forms part of the Bronze Age landscape of the Pennine uplands, where such cairns often mark the graves of individuals of status within prehistoric communities.
