One of three cairns on Three Barrows, Ugborough Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the moorland of Ugborough in Devon. The cairn, part of a group of three substantial earth and stone mounds, represents funerary practice during the Bronze Age period, when such cairn cemeteries were established across Dartmoor and surrounding moorland. The site reflects the importance of this upland zone for ceremonial and burial purposes during the second millennium before the present era. As a scheduled ancient monument with national heritage protection, it remains a significant testament to prehistoric burial customs and the organisation of Bronze Age communities in south-western England.
