Prehistoric cairnfield and associated field system on Stainton Fell is an ancient monument comprising scattered burial cairns and contemporary agricultural remains dating to the Bronze Age. Located on upland terrain near Stainton in Cumberland, the site represents evidence of prehistoric land use and settlement patterns characteristic of the second millennium BC. The cairnfield consists of multiple stone cairns interspersed within a relict field system defined by banks and divisions, indicating that the landscape was managed for both funerary and productive purposes during the prehistoric period. Such monuments are significant for understanding the relationship between Bronze Age communities and their environment, particularly the extent and nature of upland exploitation in northern Britain.
