An alternative view suggests that the same level of coastal settlement and exploitation that had been common in the Mesolithic continued into the Neolithic, but that in the later period there was also an expansion of activity into other parts of the landscape" [27].
Prehistoric Cumbria - Wikipedia
Barrowclough, referring to the excavation by Bewley in , says: These enclosures are associated with the building of long cairns, as at Skelmore Heads and Howe Robin, and with stone axes, as at Carrock Fell. Later on, monuments would become more 'institutionalised' [ clarification needed ] and develop into stone circles and henges, reflecting a more localised and settled focus to occupation, as opposed to marking meeting points for trade and exchange as had been the case earlier.
The best-known Neolithic site in the West Cumbrian Plain is Ehenside Tarn near Beckermet , with roughout unfinished and polished axes, plain bowl pottery, cattle and deer bones. The evidence of deer bones here and at Bardsea in South Cumbria suggests a continuation of hunter-gathering alongside more settled, agricultural, means of living. Ehenside points up the use of wetland areas by Neolithic Cumbrians: South Cumbria, and especially Furness and Walney, is the area where most of the axe finds have been made 67 examples - accounting for half of the total of axe finds in Cumbria.
This is probably due to the area's proximity to the so-called 'Langdale Axe Factory'.
How can we help?
Many of the axes seem to have been intentionally deposited in moss areas and in fissures in rocks. Indeed, that axe factory is perhaps the most famous and important find of Neolithic activity in Cumbria: The axe heads were not only for local use in weapons: The colouring of the stones may have had ritualistic meaning. Apparently the green rock created a sense of mystery and magic. Roughout axes have also been found at sites throughout Cumbria, suggesting that axes were originally roughed out at Great Langdale and then sent to various sites where they were finished into a polished state Ehenside Tarn, near Sellafield and Mossgarth near Portinscale seem to be examples of this 'secondary working'.
A later phase indicates more finished and less wasteful working in the Langdale area itself, with fewer 'roughouts' being sent out.
Also at this time, possibly reflecting economic power created by the Axe Factory, stone circles and henges began to be built across the county. Indeed, "Cumbria has one of the largest number of preserved field monuments in England". The megalith Long Meg , along with Little Meg and a circle at Glassonby may also have been erected at this time, although they are also possibly early Bronze Age in date.
The stone circles, henges, cairns and other standing stones are often grouped at nodes of communication routes. The Shap Stone Avenue to the south of Penrith, including the Goggleby Stone, the Thunder Stone, the South Shap circle, Skellaw Hill, as well as Oddendale to the east , forms an ' avenue ' running to the east of the River Lowther along a main route to the north; the Long Meg complex runs alongside the River Eden; Mayburgh and the other henges run alongside the River Eamont near its confluence with the River Lowther; Castlerigg was probably on a ridge overlooking wetlands and was and still is a focal point in the landscape.
As well as providing focal points for the gathering of people for the purposes of trade, of ritual, and, in the Late Neolithic, for more 'tenurial' settlement and ownership of land, the stone circles probably had cosmological uses as well. For example, the Long Meg stone itself, which stands outside its accompanying circle, is aligned with the circle's centre on the point of the midwinter sunset.
The use of different coloured stones here is possibly linked to observations made at the times of equinoxes and solstices. By the Bronze Age , settlements in Cumbria are likely to have taken a much more permanent form. Like the transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic, the transition from Neolithic to Early Bronze Age was gradual and continuity of sites is likely.
Unlike in southern England, where the transition is marked by the 'Beaker Period' , in Cumbria and the north-west burials with beaker pottery are rare, with only a handful of such burials recorded. Instead, circular wooden and then stone structures subsequently sealed by cairns and used over centuries was the preferred method. In the Early Bronze Age, evidence of greatly increased woodland clearing combined with cereal growing has been found in the pollen record for the North Cumbrian Plain, Solway Firth and the coastal areas.

Very little evidence of occupation exists, although a number of potential sites have been identified by aerial photographic work. Collared urns have been found at sites such as the former Garlands Hospital now the Carleton Clinic near Carlisle , Aughertree Fell, Aglionby , and at Eskmeals with a cist burial, cremation pits, and a flint-knapping site. Activity round the Morecambe Bay region seems to have been less than in the West Cumbrian Coastal Plain, although there is evidence for significant settlement on Walney Island, and at Sizergh, Levens Park and Allithwaite where Beaker burials took place.
This southern area of the county also has approximately 85 examples of perforated axe-hammers, rarely found in the rest of the county. These, like the Neolithic stone axes, seem to have been deposited deliberately with axe finds being more coastal in distribution. Copper and bronze tools only seem to have arrived in Cumbria very gradually through the 2nd millennium. In terms of burial practices, both inhumations burials of non-cremated bodies and cremations took place in Cumbria, with cremations being more favoured than inhumations Most burials were associated with cairns 26 but other monuments were also used: Cremation burials may also be found "in a pit, cist, below a pavement, or roughly enclosed by a stone cist".
Cremated bones placed in food vessels was followed by a later practice of placement in collared or uncollared urns, although many burials had no urns involved at all. A capping stone was often placed on the urn, which could be either upright or inverted. Ritualistic deposition into Cumbrian grave-sites include: Bronze Age artefacts have been uncovered throughout the county, including several bronze axe heads around Kendal and Levens , an axe and a sword at Gleaston , a rapier near the hamlet of Salta , an intriguing carved granite ball near Carlisle and part of a gold necklace believed to be from France or Ireland found at Greysouthen.
A timber palisade has also been discovered at High Crosby near Carlisle. Again, there is continuity between Bronze-age and Neolithic practice of deposition. There seems to be an association between the distribution of stone perforated axe-hammers and bronze metalwork deposition in the area of Furness.
