Prehistoric cairnfield and associated field system on Waberthwaite Fell is a Bronze Age monument located on the north bank of Charlesground Gill in Cumberland, approximately 880 metres south-east of High Corney. The site comprises a concentration of cairns distributed across the fell, forming part of a wider prehistoric field system that reflects patterns of land use and settlement during the Bronze Age period. The monuments are characteristic of upland cairnfield complexes found throughout the Lake District and northern England, indicating pastoral or mixed agricultural activity on marginal moorland. The field boundaries and cairns together provide evidence of prehistoric land organisation and tenure in this upland landscape.
