Longash Common is a Bronze Age ceremonial landscape in Devon containing multiple prehistoric stone monuments. The site comprises a stone circle, standing stones, cairns, a recumbent stone, and a stone alignment, representing a complex of ritual and funerary structures typical of the second millennium BC.
