Prehistoric cairnfield on Birkby Fell, 360m south east of Raven Crag is a Bronze Age monument located in Cumberland, comprising a dispersed group of burial cairns characteristic of upland prehistoric settlement and funerary practice. The site consists of multiple stone cairns scattered across the fellside, representing the burial or ritual practices of Bronze Age communities who exploited these high moorland areas. Such cairnfields are typical of the upland zones of northern England and reflect patterns of seasonal or permanent occupation during the later prehistoric period. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of Bronze Age land use and social organisation in the Lake District uplands.
