Round cairn on Harland Edge is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial structure typical of upland monument building practices in the prehistoric period. Such cairns served as communal or individual burial places and are important indicators of settlement and land use patterns in the Peak District region during the second and third millennia BC. The monument's survival on Harland Edge contributes to the understanding of prehistoric funerary practices and the use of moorland landscapes in prehistoric Derbyshire.
