The prehistoric cairnfields and associated field system on Corney Fell is a Bronze Age monument complex located in the upland landscape of western Cumberland, approximately 1.2 kilometres south-east of High Corney. The site comprises three distinct cairnfields together with evidence of contemporary agricultural fields, reflecting the extensive pastoral and settlement activities conducted on these fells during the Bronze Age period. The cairns, which vary in size and form, represent burial monuments and clearance heaps accumulated through the cultivation and management of the moorland landscape. This monument group is significant as evidence of prehistoric land use and agricultural organisation in the Lake District uplands, preserving remains from a period when these high ground areas supported more intensive human activity than in later centuries.
