Rough Crag prehistoric cairnfield is a Bronze Age monument located in Cumberland, England, comprising a substantial scatter of stone cairns alongside associated field boundaries. The site demonstrates the agricultural exploitation of upland terrain during the Bronze Age period, with the cairns likely serving both funerary and clearance functions as communities managed the landscape for pastoral and arable use. The field system preserved at Rough Crag reflects the organised land division practices of prehistoric communities, with stone-built boundaries still visible across the moorland terrain. The monument complex provides archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and land management strategies in the Bronze Age uplands of northern England.
