Sike Moss prehistoric cairnfield is a Bronze Age monument located near Woodend Bridge in Cumberland, comprising a scatter of burial cairns and two substantial ring cairns positioned approximately 215 metres north east of the bridge. The site consists of multiple circular stone-built mounds typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, with the two ring cairns representing more elaborate monumental forms that likely held particular significance within the prehistoric community. The cairnfield demonstrates the settlement and burial patterns of Bronze Age populations in the upland regions of northern England, with the monuments arranged across the moorland landscape in a manner consistent with contemporary burial practices. These structures survive as important archaeological evidence of prehistoric funerary tradition and landscape use in the area.
