Prehistoric cairnfield and two associated hut circles on Corney Fell, 860m north of Buckbarrow Bridge is a Bronze Age upland settlement site situated in the Lake District fells of Cumberland. The monument comprises a scattered field of cairns, the debris of stone clearance and burial markers typical of Bronze Age agricultural activity on marginal upland terrain, alongside two circular stone-built hut foundations that represent domestic dwellings of the same period. The site demonstrates the prehistoric exploitation and settlement of high fell country, illustrating patterns of Bronze Age land use and habitation in the northwest of England. The earthworks remain substantially visible as surface features despite their considerable antiquity.
