Four cairns on Holne Lee is a Bronze Age ceremonial or burial monument located on moorland in Devon, northwest of Greatcombe at approximately 1140 metres elevation. The site comprises four distinct cairns, which are characteristic funerary structures of the Bronze Age period and represent important evidence of prehistoric settlement and ritual practices on Dartmoor's upland landscape. These monuments reflect the burial customs and territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities in the region, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. The cairns' survival on the exposed moorland, despite subsequent land use changes, makes them significant archaeological remains for understanding Bronze Age Dartmoor.
