Ring cairn and cairn 750m north west of Bumper Castle is a prehistoric monument located in Derbyshire, England. The site comprises two cairn structures, with the ring cairn representing a distinctive funerary monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period. Ring cairns typically consist of a circular bank of stones surrounding a central void or burial deposit, and such monuments are commonly found across upland areas of Britain where they served ceremonial or commemorative functions. The precise dating and original form of these particular cairns reflect the archaeological traditions of Bronze Age communities in the Derbyshire uplands, though detailed physical investigation would be required to establish their specific construction techniques and any associated artefactual evidence.
