Routrundle Pound is a Bronze Age enclosed settlement located in Devon, England. The monument comprises the remains of a substantial circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, typical of defensive or stock-management structures from the later prehistoric period. Such pounds served practical functions in pastoral economy, used for containing livestock or as focal points for settlement activity during the Bronze Age. The site represents an important example of upland settlement archaeology in the South West, contributing to understanding of prehistoric land use and community organisation in Devon.
