Four cairns 310m south of Horn's Cross is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a cairn cemetery on Holne Ridge in Devon. The site comprises a group of stone burial cairns situated within a larger landscape of prehistoric ritual and funerary activity characteristic of upland Dartmoor. These monuments represent the material expression of burial practices and territorial use during the later prehistoric period, when such cairn cemeteries served as enduring markers of community identity and ancestral presence. The survival of multiple cairns in close association demonstrates the sustained significance of this location as a place of the dead throughout the Bronze Age.
