Triple cairn, cairnfield and bole sites extending south westwards from Raven Tor is a Bronze Age funerary and settlement complex located on the moorland of the Derbyshire Pennines. The monument comprises three burial cairns, a cairnfield indicating prehistoric agricultural use, and associated bole sites representing the remains of felled trees, all arranged in a linear pattern extending southwest from Raven Tor itself. The cairns represent funerary practices typical of the Bronze Age, whilst the cairnfield and bole sites suggest contemporary or later use of the landscape for cultivation and resource exploitation. The complex is notable for illustrating the integrated pattern of burial, settlement and land use characteristic of prehistoric upland communities.
