Platform cairn south of Hill Rake is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Derbyshire. The structure consists of a platform cairn, a form of funerary monument constructed from accumulated stone, characteristic of upland burial practices in the Peak District during the prehistoric period. Such monuments typically functioned as communal or individual burial sites and represent an important phase of mortuary ritual and territorial demarcation in early British prehistory. The site's location in the Derbyshire uplands reflects the Bronze Age and earlier preference for elevated positions for monumental burials, which would have been visible landmarks across the landscape.
