Field system and cairnfield on Lockton High Moor, 1km NNE of Needle Point is a prehistoric agricultural landscape comprising a field system and associated cairns located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a period of upland exploitation and settlement in the region during the second millennium BC. The cairnfield consists of burial cairns interspersed with clearance cairns, typical of Bronze Age upland use, whilst the field boundaries visible as stone walls or lynchets indicate organized pastoral or mixed farming practices. This site is significant for demonstrating how Bronze Age communities managed and utilized the moorland environment, with the spatial arrangement of fields and burials providing evidence of settlement patterns and land use practices during this formative period of British prehistory.
