Round cairn on Curbar Edge is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the gritstone moorland of Curbar Edge in Derbyshire. The cairn consists of a roughly circular pile of stones typical of Bronze Age burial practices in the Peak District region, erected as a mortuary monument over one or more burials. Such cairns represent important evidence of settlement patterns and funerary customs during the Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 700 BC, and their distribution across the high moorlands indicates sustained human activity and territorial organisation in prehistoric Derbyshire. The monument survives as a substantial upstanding earthwork and remains a significant archaeological feature within the Bronze Age funerary landscape of the Peak District.
