Prehistoric cairnfield 1.0km ESE of Low Gillerthwaite is a Bronze Age monument located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises a dispersed collection of burial cairns and clearance heaps characteristic of upland prehistoric land use, representing evidence of both funerary practice and pastoral agriculture during the Bronze Age period. Such cairnfields are typical of the Lake District uplands and demonstrate the exploitation of moorland resources in prehistory. The monument remains archaeologically significant as evidence of settlement patterns and burial customs in the northern Pennines during the second millennium BC.
