Cairn on Harland Edge is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on high moorland in Derbyshire. The cairn comprises a mound of stones constructed as a burial or ceremonial deposit typical of the Bronze Age period, roughly 2500 to 800 BC. Such upland cairns represent significant evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practice in the Peak District, where numerous similar monuments survive across the moorland landscape. The site's survival on exposed moorland has allowed it to remain largely intact, preserving its archaeological character for study and conservation.
