The Bronze Age field system located approximately 400 metres south-east of Ladybower Inn in Derbyshire is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a series of agricultural divisions and boundaries dating to the Bronze Age period. The monument represents evidence of early agricultural practice and land organisation in the upland regions of the Peak District during prehistory. The field system's physical character reflects the pastoral and arable exploitation of marginal upland landscapes during this period, with surviving traces of boundaries and divisions visible in the archaeological record. Such Bronze Age field systems provide important evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and economic strategies in the British highlands during the second millennium BC.
