A ring cairn on Longash Common lying 400m south east of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The structure comprises a circular or oval arrangement of stones forming a ring, typical of ring cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period across upland Devon and Cornwall. Ring cairns of this type, found clustered on the moorland around Merrivale, represent the burial practices of Bronze Age communities and contribute to understanding the settlement patterns and ritual landscape of Dartmoor during the second millennium before Christ. The monument survives as a detectable earthwork feature within the broader Bronze Age archaeological complex of the Merrivale area.
