Prehistoric cairnfield on Stainton Fell, 950m north of Rowantree Force, is a Bronze Age monument consisting of a scatter of stone cairns distributed across the fell landscape in Cumberland. The site comprises multiple burial cairns typical of upland cairnfield complexes, which represent sustained ritual and funerary practices across the Bronze Age period. Such cairnfields are characteristic of the exploitation and monumentalisation of upland areas during the second and early first millennia BC, reflecting both burial customs and territorial organisation of prehistoric communities. The monument's survival on the fell demonstrates the archaeological significance of Cumberland's upland regions for understanding Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial behaviour.
