Cairnfield is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the eastern edge of Ros Hill Wood in Northumberland. The site comprises multiple cairns, characteristic of burial practices during the Bronze Age period, when such stone-built monuments were constructed across northern Britain to mark the graves of significant community members. The physical remains consist of the accumulated stone structures that once formed substantial mounds, though like many upland cairn fields, the site has experienced some degradation over the millennia since its construction. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practice in the Northumberland landscape.
