A ring cairn and cairn located 750 metres north west of Bumper Castle in Derbyshire is a Bronze Age funerary monument. The ring cairn comprises a circular arrangement of stones with an open central area, a characteristic form of Bronze Age burial monument found across upland Britain. The associated cairn represents a separate depositional feature within what was likely a broader ceremonial or funerary landscape. Both monuments contribute to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the Derbyshire uplands during the second millennium before Christ.
