Round cairn 430m west of Crookhill Farm is a prehistoric burial monument located in Derbyshire. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture typical of the second and third millennia before the present era. As a round cairn, it would have originally consisted of a mound of stones piled over a central burial or cremation deposit, though its current condition reflects substantial degradation over the intervening millennia. Such monuments are characteristic of upland regions in the Midlands and Peak District, where stone was readily available for construction and where Bronze Age communities established their burial grounds.
