The prehistoric enclosure and trackway west-north-west of Fingland in Cumberland is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork remains of Iron Age or Bronze Age date. The site encompasses a substantial enclosed area defined by bank and ditch boundaries, together with associated trackway features that suggest pastoral or agricultural use during prehistoric times. Romano-British activity is also evidenced at the location, with the remains of a farmstead indicating continued occupation and land use during the Roman period. The survival of these overlapping phases of occupation demonstrates the continuity of settlement patterns in this part of Cumberland across several centuries of prehistory and into the Romano-British era.
