Four round barrows on Soussons Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on high ground north west of Soussons in Devon. The site comprises four burial mounds of the type common to the upland areas of south west England during the second millennium before Christ. Round barrows of this period typically served as communal or family burial sites and often contained cremated remains accompanied by grave goods. The survival of multiple barrows in close proximity on Soussons Down indicates a significant Bronze Age use of this location as a burial ground, reflecting patterns of settlement and land use in Devonian prehistory.
