One of several cairns south-west of Spurrell's Cross, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairn forms part of a scattered cemetery of burial mounds characteristic of the second millennium BCE, when the upland areas of Dartmoor were exploited for pastoral settlement and ritual purposes. The monument consists of a rubble mound constructed from local stone, a typical form of Bronze Age burial marker that frequently contained inhumations or cremations and sometimes associated grave goods. This cairn group on Ugborough Moor represents evidence of Bronze Age land use and social organisation on the moorland, contributing to the broader archaeological understanding of Dartmoor's prehistoric settlement patterns.
