We are having a Peak District Prehistory facebook group meetup on Eyam Moor. Plan is to see the ring cairns, wet wythens, the big cairn, a weird feature from google maps and hopefully some rock art.
We are meeting just off the moor on Sir William Hill road at 10.30am (was 1.30pm) on Saturday 6th September (here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=422450&Y=378050&A=Y&Z=120)
All are welcome. Post on here or email me if you are coming and you want us to wait for you!
[edit - time has changed to 10.30am]

If it's the circular feature, could it not be a medieval post windmill?

When it was mentioned about 6 months ago on mp I checked the HER and was sure I found a cairn there, but was dissuaded by others recently. Be good if it is a cairn!

The content at pastscape "A Bronze Age cairn located on a slight ridge of gently shelving land on Eyam Moor. The cairn measures 13.5 metres by 12.5 metres and stands about 0.5 metres high. This example of a funerary cairn is complete except for a small trench cut into its western side. Small quarry pits to its immediate north and east indicate that the trench was likely to have been for stone procurement rather than the result of antiquarian activity. The cairn is located in a relatively isolated position, away from the main prehistoric cairnfields of Eyam Moor. There are, however, several other cairns in this part of the Moor which also stand in relatively isolated positions and this small dispersed group is interpreted as a barrow cemetery. Scheduled. " Plus satellite imagery is the same spot .What were the reasons given against the suggestion ?

Only that it wasn't well known I think. Plus a query about the position iirc. Looks like it is the one though. The aerial makes it look like a ring cairn.
