Cairn south-west of Spurrell's Cross, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on moorland in Devon. The monument consists of a cairn, a type of funerary structure built from stones rather than earth, typical of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were constructed across upland areas of south-west England. The cairn's survival on Ugborough Moor, despite centuries of moorland use and potential disturbance, makes it an important archaeological witness to prehistoric burial practices in the region. Such cairns frequently contained cremated human remains and grave goods, though the specific contents and condition of this particular example would require archaeological investigation to establish.
