Five Hill Field prehistoric barrow cemetery and cross dyke is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cambridgeshire, comprising a group of burial mounds and associated linear earthwork. The barrows date to the Bronze Age and represent a significant funerary landscape typical of prehistoric ritual and burial practices in the East Anglian region. The cross dyke, a linear defensive or territorial boundary work, runs across the landscape and reflects the organisation of land use during the later prehistoric period. Together these features form an important archaeological complex documenting Bronze Age settlement patterns and social structures in the Cambridgeshire fenland periphery.
