Three stone alignments, 15 cairns, a cist, a partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement and a small clapper bridge at Drizzle Combe is a Bronze Age and later prehistoric monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises multiple Bronze Age funerary and domestic features, including the cairns and cist which represent ritual or burial practices typical of the second millennium BCE, whilst the stone hut circles indicate domestic settlement activity, likely spanning the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The three alignments of standing stones reflect ceremonial or boundary demarcation practices common to Bronze Age communities on Dartmoor. The clapper bridge, constructed of large flat stone slabs, represents a later addition to the landscape, possibly medieval or post-medieval in date, and demonstrates continued use of the site and its communication routes over many centuries.
