Big Moor Cairn Field
Big Moor Cairn Field submitted by dooclay : Ramsley Moor, Barrow 9? (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Derby HER lists the following in the area,
Ramsley Moor, Barrow 9
Ramsley Moor, Barrow 7
and more generally, Big Moor and Ramsley Moor: Settlement & Burial cairns.

This last comprises a variable number of Cairns over a large area: Sixty-seven cairns [numbered and plotted on 25" from map in 1] on Ramsley Moor adjoining Barbrook. They comprise:- 4 large mounds 30-35 ft. across. 13 medium-sized mounds 20 to 29 ft. across. 50 small mounds below 20 ft. across.

I found a line of 8 Cairns between Barbrook Cairn at SK27917561 and Barbrook 2 Circle at SK27757582.
An enlargement of the Megalithic Portals Interactive OS map shows their locations.
