Four bowl barrows on Bursdon Moor, 270 metres north west of Summerville Cross, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises four round barrows, earthwork burial mounds typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice in south-west England, dating to approximately 2000–800 BC. These barrows represent evidence of ritual burial customs and social organisation among Bronze Age communities occupying Dartmoor and its surrounding moorlands. The survival of multiple barrows in close proximity indicates the location held particular significance as a burial ground during this period.
