Cairns at Winyards Nick is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of the High Peak in Derbyshire, situated approximately 680 metres west-southwest of Carl Wark Hillfort. The site comprises a group of burial cairns, typical of the Bronze Age period when such stone-built structures were constructed across upland regions of Britain as markers for the dead. The cairns represent an important element of the prehistoric ritual landscape of the Peak District, reflecting patterns of settlement and burial practice during the Bronze Age, likely dating to the second millennium before Christ. The monument remains archaeologically significant as evidence of the funerary traditions and territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities in this region.
