Enclosure containing four clearance cairns and a stone bank west of Four Stones Hill is a Bronze Age or Iron Age field monument located in Westmorland. The site comprises a substantial stone bank forming an enclosure, within which four clearance cairns are distributed, representing evidence of ancient land management and agricultural organisation. The clearance cairns attest to the removal of stones from the surrounding landscape during cultivation, a characteristic practice of prehistoric farming communities. The monument contributes to the archaeological record of upland pastoral and arable exploitation in the Lake District region during the later prehistoric period.
