Cairn on Bamford Edge, 570m north east of Clough House, is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the high moorland of Derbyshire. The site consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stone rather than earth, which served as a funerary structure for interments during the Bronze Age period. Such cairns are characteristic monuments of prehistoric upland landscapes in the Peak District and surrounding regions, where they frequently cluster in burial groups. The monument survives as a visible earthwork feature on Bamford Edge and remains of archaeological interest as evidence of Bronze Age funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Derbyshire moorlands.
