Cairnfield 860m north east of Ramsley Lodge is a Bronze Age ceremonial or funerary monument located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a group of cairns, which are mounds of stones characteristic of prehistoric burial practices across upland Britain. Such monuments typically date to the Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 800 BCE, and represent significant ritual and memorial landscapes of that period. The cairnfield's location on higher ground reflects the Bronze Age practice of positioning burial monuments in prominent upland positions, often as part of larger ritual complexes scattered across the moorland.
