Leawood Plantation barrow
Devon
Leawood Plantation barrow is a scheduled monument, a Bronze Age burial mound that sits within the woodland plantation that gives it its name. Like many of Dartmoor's barrows, it represents thousands of years of human presence on the moor, marking a place of ritual and remembrance from the prehistoric period.
Today the barrow survives within the planted landscape, a tangible link to the Bronze Age communities who shaped Dartmoor long before modern settlement. Visitors exploring the area will find themselves walking among evidence of how Dartmoor has been inhabited and used across deep time, a landscape layered with both ancient and more recent history.
