What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Cairnfield partly enclosed by a bank, on the east side of Woodclose Gill, Scale Knoll Allotment, Barningham Moor, 550m south of Hurst Hill as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic cairnfield, dating to approximately 4000–2500 BCE, representing a group of prehistoric burial or ritual monuments. Its partial enclosure by a bank suggests possible later modification or reuse, indicating cultural continuity or adaptation in the region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
