Prehistoric cairnfield, associated field system and hut circle east of Water Crag is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement complex located in Cumberland, England. The monument comprises a cairnfield—a field scattered with numerous stone cairns—alongside contemporaneous field boundaries and at least one hut circle, indicating pastoral or mixed agricultural occupation. The cairns may represent clearance heaps from the working of surrounding land or, alternatively, funerary monuments associated with the settlement. The site is representative of upland prehistoric land use in northern England and demonstrates the organization of domestic and agricultural space during the later prehistoric period.
