What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Cairn 610m east of Glitteringstone as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic chambered cairn; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (circa 3700–3000 BCE). It is significant as part of a broader pattern of ritual and funerary monuments in the Peak District, reflecting early agricultural communities' spiritual practices.
