Overview

History & significance

Round cairn and clearance cairn 770m north west of Crookhill Farm is a Bronze Age funerary and later agricultural monument located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a round cairn, which served as a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, together with clearance cairn material resulting from subsequent agricultural use of the landscape. The juxtaposition of these two monument types reflects the changing use of the upland terrain, with the earlier funerary cairn later surrounded or added to by stone clearance from field work. Such monuments are characteristic of Derbyshire's prehistoric upland archaeology and contribute to understanding patterns of Bronze Age burial practice and Iron Age or later land management in the region.
