One of three cairns on Three Barrows, Ugborough Moor is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument situated on Ugborough Moor in Devon. The site comprises three distinct cairns, which represent ritual and burial practices characteristic of prehistoric upland communities in south-western England. These monuments likely date to the later prehistoric period and would have served as visible markers of burial or ceremonial significance within the landscape. The cairns are testament to the long continuity of burial practice on Dartmoor and its fringes, where such monuments remain prominent features of the moorland topography.
