Dike, circles and cairns on Bleaberry Haws is a prehistoric monument complex located in Lancashire. The site comprises a linear earthwork or dike alongside Bronze Age burial monuments in the form of cairns and possibly ritual or ceremonial circles, reflecting the multi-period use of this upland location. These features represent evidence of both territorial organisation and funerary practice during the Bronze Age, making the site significant for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and ceremonial activities in the Pennine uplands. The combination of defensive or demarcative earthworks with burial structures suggests sustained human activity and land management across the Bronze Age period.
