Ring cairn and cairn on Ramsley Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the uplands of the Derbyshire Peak District, approximately 850 metres north-east of Ramsley Lodge. The site comprises two distinct cairn structures: a ring cairn, characterised by a circular arrangement of stones with a hollow or level interior, and an associated cairn, typical of burial monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments served as burial places and territorial markers on the high moorland, reflecting the ritual and commemorative practices of Bronze Age communities. The survival of these structures on Ramsley Moor contributes to the archaeological evidence for prehistoric activity in the Pennine uplands.
