Round barrow cemetery on West Burrow Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises multiple round barrows arranged across the moorland landscape, representing a typical funerary practice of the Bronze Age period when communities marked the graves of their dead with distinctive earthen mounds. These barrows would have served as focal points for ritual activity and as permanent markers of ancestral burial grounds within the local territory. The cemetery demonstrates the importance of ceremonial landscape organisation during the Bronze Age and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and social practices in Devon during this prehistoric period.
