Four cairns on Holne Lee 1140m north west of Greatcombe is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located on moorland in Devon. The site consists of four separate cairns, which are characteristic burial structures of the Bronze Age period, typically constructed from heaped stone and used to mark the graves of individuals or families. These monuments form part of the extensive evidence of Bronze Age settlement and funerary practice across Dartmoor and its surrounding uplands, reflecting the significant use of elevated moorland during the second millennium BC. The cairns remain visible features of the landscape and contribute to the archaeological record of prehistoric Devon.
