One of three cairns on Three Barrows, Ugborough Moor, is a Bronze Age burial monument located on open moorland in Devon. The cairn forms part of a Bronze Age funerary complex comprising three distinct structures positioned on the moor, representing typical Devonshire cairn-building practices of the second millennium BCE. These monuments, constructed from heaped stone, served as burial markers and would have formed prominent landscape features within the prehistoric settlement pattern of Dartmoor and its margins. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and land use on the Devon moors.
