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 landscape monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a complex of prehistoric ritual and domestic structures, with the stone alignments and cairns indicating ceremonial or territorial significance typical of Bronze Age upland settlement patterns. The stone hut circle settlement represents domestic occupation during the Bronze Age and possibly into the Iron Age, whilst the clapper bridge reflects later medieval or post-medieval modifications to the landscape.
