The Buried Moon or The Dead Moon is a fairy tale included by Joseph Jacobs in "More English Fairy Tales".
 It is a striking unusual tale, with few variants, and often appearing more mythological than is common for fairy tales.
 It was collected by Mrs. Balfour from the North Lincolnshire Carrs in the Ancholme Valley; its unusual characteristics made many people doubt its origins as a fairy tale.
 However, when Mrs. Balfour published her notes, they were generally found reliable, and the Fens proved to have many other unusual legends.
 The story may be evidence of moon worship.
