Sike Moss prehistoric cairnfield is a Bronze Age monument located near Woodend Bridge in Cumberland, comprising a scattered field of burial cairns with two particularly substantial ring cairns positioned approximately 215 metres to the north east. The site demonstrates the funerary and territorial practices of Bronze Age communities in the upland regions of northern England, with the ring cairns representing formal burial monuments of considerable labour investment. The cairnfield exhibits the characteristic dispersed pattern typical of Bronze Age sepulchral landscapes, where multiple interment structures are distributed across the available terrain. These monuments provide archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and mortuary customs during the second millennium BC in the Lake District upland zone.
