Enclosure containing four clearance cairns and a stone bank west of Four Stones Hill is a prehistoric monument located in Westmorland, consisting of a defined enclosure marked by a substantial stone bank with four clearance cairns positioned within its bounds. The clearance cairns are typical products of Bronze Age or Iron Age agricultural activity, formed by the accumulation of stones removed from adjacent land during the process of field preparation and clearance. The stone bank defining the enclosure represents a deliberate boundary construction, likely serving both practical and territorial functions within the prehistoric landscape. The monument reflects the sustained management and organisation of upland terrain during the later prehistoric period.
