Two cairns on Beeley Moor, east of Hell Bank Plantation is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of the Peak District in Derbyshire. The site comprises two distinct stone cairns, which represent the burial practices of prehistoric communities occupying the upland regions of the English Midlands during the second and third millennia before the Common Era. Such cairn groupings are characteristic of the ritual and funerary landscape of the Bronze Age in particular, when the construction of stone burial mounds became widespread across northern Britain. The monument survives as an archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and territorial organisation in this region, contributing to the understanding of early human use of the Pennine moorlands.
