Cairn on Ludworth Intakes is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire, England. The monument consists of a cairn, a mound constructed from stone rather than earth, typical of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period when such structures served as prominent markers for elite or significant burials within the landscape. The site represents an important example of prehistoric burial tradition in the Peak District region, where cairns and barrows constitute a substantial archaeological record of early bronze-working communities. Its survival to the present day, despite centuries of land use and modification, contributes to understanding settlement and mortuary practices in the upland areas of Derbyshire during the second and early first millennia before Christ.
