Prehistoric cairnfield and associated field system on Stainton Fell is a Bronze Age landscape monument situated in Cumberland, approximately 330 metres south of The Knott. The site comprises multiple cairns distributed across the fell in association with a field system of stone walls and clearance features, characteristic of Bronze Age agricultural activity on upland terrain. The cairnfield represents evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and land organisation on marginal upland ground, with the field boundaries reflecting contemporary pastoral and agricultural practices. This monument survives as an important record of Bronze Age land use and territorial division in the Lake District fells.
