Cairn on Bamford Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on high moorland in the Peak District, Derbyshire. The cairn comprises a stone mound constructed as a funerary structure typical of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as repositories for the dead and were prominent landscape features in upland areas. Its position northwest of Crow Chin on Bamford Moor reflects the Bronze Age preference for burial sites on elevated terrain commanding wide views across the surrounding landscape. The monument remains a significant archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in the Pennine moorlands.
