Round barrow 1350 yards north of Ridge Gate is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The barrow represents a typical example of the ceremonial burial practices prevalent in southern England during the Bronze Age, when such mounded structures served as focal points for communal or elite interment. The monument's survival into the modern period, despite agricultural activity across the Devon landscape, provides archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement and land use patterns in the region. Like many round barrows of its type, it would have originally contained cremated or inhumed remains, though specific details of its internal construction and any artefactual assemblage are not widely documented in accessible heritage records.
