Ring cairn and cairnfield on Eaglestone Flat, 270m east of Eagle Stone is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a ring cairn, a circular structure of heaped stones typically associated with burial practice, alongside a broader cairnfield indicating sustained Bronze Age use of the landscape for ritual and mortuary purposes. The ring cairn represents a distinctive funerary tradition of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as focal points for community burial and commemoration. The cairnfield context suggests this was part of a larger Bronze Age landscape of ritual activity, typical of upland areas in the Peak District during the second and first millennia before the Common Era.
