Cairnfield and embanked stone circle 550m east of Barbrook Reservoir is a Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary monument located on the moorlands of Derbyshire. The site comprises a stone circle enclosed by an external bank, a form characteristic of later Bronze Age ritual monuments in the Peak District, alongside associated cairns that served burial functions. The embanked configuration suggests a phase of monument construction or modification during the middle to later Bronze Age, when such enclosed ritual spaces were established across upland regions of northern England. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of prehistoric ceremonial practice and settlement patterns on the Derbyshire moors.
