Prehistoric cairnfield 660m north east of Barnscar settlement is a Bronze Age funerary and territorial monument located in Cumberland, England. The cairnfield comprises multiple stone cairns distributed across the upland landscape, characteristic of burial practices and land use patterns during the prehistoric period. Such cairnfields represent significant evidence of Bronze Age settlement organization and mortuary ritual in northern Britain, with the scattered arrangement of cairns reflecting both individual and communal burial traditions. The site's position within the upland terrain indicates the extent of prehistoric exploitation and settlement in areas that would later form marginal agricultural land during the historical period.
