Four round barrows on Soussons Down, 960m north west of Soussons is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising four earthen mounds located on Dartmoor in Devon. The barrows are arranged across the moorland landscape and represent the characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as communal or individual sepulchres for the deceased and their grave goods. The site reflects the significance of Dartmoor as a centre of prehistoric activity and settlement during the second millennium BC. The barrows survive as substantial archaeological features on the open moorland, preserving evidence of prehistoric mortuary practices and Bronze Age land use.
