The ring cairn and cairnfield on Eaglestone Flat is a Bronze Age monument located on the high moorland of Derbyshire, approximately 270 metres east of Eagle Stone. The site comprises a circular stone cairn surrounded by a distinct ring ditch, together with a broader scatter of cairn material forming a cairnfield across the open moorland. Such monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age burial and ceremonial practices on upland areas, where ring cairns frequently served as burial monuments or ritual foci within the wider landscape of cairn groups. The monument remains visible as an earthwork and provides important archaeological evidence for prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in the Pennine uplands.
