One of several cairns south-west of Spurrell's Cross, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, England. The cairn forms part of a larger landscape of prehistoric ritual and funerary activity that characterises Ugborough Moor, where multiple cairns and associated archaeological features indicate sustained use of the upland during the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a heap of stones typical of cairn construction from this period, serving as a durable marker above a burial or ceremonial deposit. Its survival on the open moorland, where later agricultural modification has been limited, preserves evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and the organisation of prehistoric communities across Dartmoor's high ground.
