Prehistoric cairnfield on Waberthwaite Fell, 840m north west of Redgill Head is a Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary monument located in the Pennine uplands of Cumberland. The site comprises a dispersed arrangement of stone cairns distributed across the fell, characteristic of upland burial practices during the Bronze Age period. Such cairnfields represent evidence of sustained ritual activity and settlement use in the higher moorland regions during prehistory, reflecting the importance of these zones for both funerary rites and pastoral activity. The monument's survival within the upland landscape provides significant archaeological evidence for Bronze Age land use patterns and social organisation in the English north.
