This conspicuous Round Cairn in Derbyshire is close to the angle where two footpaths cross. It is 15 metres across and 1.5 metres high. Nearly half of the mound has been removed exposing two concentric kerbs of stones.
The cairn has a cist at its centre which held a single cremation, but twelve other cremated remains were also interred within the cairn, most with flint tools, eight with collared urns.
