Cairnfield is a prehistoric funerary and agricultural complex located 610 metres south-east of Foulsike Farm in Yorkshire, comprising a ring cairn and associated field system of Bronze Age date. The ring cairn represents a ritual or ceremonial monument typical of the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as focal points for burial or ceremonial practice within the broader landscape. The adjoining field system demonstrates the integration of agricultural land use with funerary monuments during this era, reflecting patterns of settlement and land management characteristic of Bronze Age communities. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and represents an important survival of prehistoric land use patterns in the Yorkshire uplands.
