Overview

History & significance

Cairnfield and house platform 400m south-west of Harewood Grange Farm is a Bronze Age ritual and settlement monument located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a cairnfield, a scatter of burial cairns typical of upland Bronze Age landscapes, together with an associated house platform indicative of contemporary domestic occupation. Such monuments reflect the pattern of pastoral settlement and funerary practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period across the Pennine uplands, with the house platform suggesting organised settlement activity alongside ritual functions. The survival of both elements at this location provides evidence for the integrated use of upland terrain during the second millennium before the Common Era.
