Eastern White Barrow
Devon
Eastern White Barrow is a scheduled monument and Bronze Age round barrow, one of many burial mounds scattered across Dartmoor. The site takes its name from the distinctive appearance of exposed light-coloured stone visible on the mound, which stands out against the moorland. Like other barrows on the high ground, it reflects patterns of prehistoric settlement and ritual practice on Dartmoor during the Bronze Age.
The barrow sits within the wider archaeological landscape of the eastern moor, where Bronze Age people left their mark through burial sites, cairns, and field systems. Today it remains as a low earthwork, visible to those who walk the moorland and understand what to look for. It is a quiet reminder of ancient communities who inhabited these uplands thousands of years ago.
