Cairnfield is a standing stone and cup marked rock located on Debdon Moor in Northumberland. The monument comprises a standing stone associated with a rock bearing cup markings, a form of prehistoric rock art found throughout northern Britain. Such cup marked rocks are typically attributed to the Bronze Age or earlier periods, though precise dating remains uncertain. The site's location on upland moorland is characteristic of Bronze Age ceremonial and domestic monuments in the region, and the combination of standing stone and marked rock suggests a ritual or commemorative function within the prehistoric landscape.
