Gib Hill is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial mound complex located near Pikehall in the Peak District of Derbyshire. The site comprises an oval barrow and bowl barrow situated on elevated moorland, representing successive phases of ritual burial activity spanning the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The oval barrow is thought to be among the earlier monuments at the site, whilst the bowl barrow represents later Bronze Age burial practice. The barrows survive as substantial earthworks and form an important archaeological record of funerary customs in the upland regions of the English Midlands during prehistoric times.
