Ring cairn and cairn on Ramsley Moor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located on the moorland northeast of Ramsley Lodge in Derbyshire. The site comprises a ring cairn, a circular or oval stone mound with a central depression or hollow, accompanied by a separate cairn nearby. Ring cairns of this type are characteristic of upland burial practices in northern Britain during the Bronze Age, typically serving as communal or individual interment sites. The monument survives as an earthwork and stone feature on Ramsley Moor, preserving evidence of prehistoric funerary ritual and settlement patterns in the Pennine region.
