Cairn south-west of Spurrell's Cross, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial marker, typical of the cairn traditions established across south-western Britain during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BC. Such monuments served as enduring markers of ritual significance and repositories for cremated human remains, reflecting the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities inhabiting the upland moorland. The site's location on Ugborough Moor places it within one of Dartmoor's most archaeologically significant landscapes, where numerous cairns and associated prehistoric structures remain testament to sustained Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial activity.
