Burr Tor prehistoric stock enclosure is a Bronze Age or Iron Age pastoral monument located on the moorland of the Peak District in Derbyshire. The enclosure consists of substantial stone walls that would have functioned to contain livestock in an upland pastoral economy, reflecting the subsistence strategies of prehistoric communities exploiting the high moorland environment. The monument's precise dating remains uncertain, though its morphological characteristics and construction method suggest an attribution to the later prehistoric period. As a relatively well-preserved example of prehistoric stock management infrastructure, it contributes to understanding settlement patterns and land use practices in the upland zones of the English Midlands during prehistoric times.
