Cairnfield is a ring cairn with associated field system located 650 metres east of Moorside Farm in Derbyshire, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and comprises a substantial circular stone cairn surrounded by a defined ring, together with evidence of ancient field boundaries that form part of the wider archaeological landscape of the upland area. The ring cairn represents a funerary monument typical of Bronze Age burial practice in the Peak District region, whilst the field system demonstrates contemporary or near-contemporary agricultural organisation on marginal upland terrain. The site remains a significant record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use in Derbyshire's moorland environment.
