One of three cairns on Three Barrows, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the moorland of Devon. The site comprises three separate cairns of which this is one, representing a distinctive clustering pattern characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices on Dartmoor and surrounding upland areas.
