Cairn on Longstone Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a cairnfield located in Devon, England. The monument consists of a stone cairn typical of upland funerary practices during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as prominent markers for burial sites across the moorland landscape. The cairn is situated within a broader distribution of similar monuments that reflect the intensive use of high ground for ritual and mortuary purposes during the second millennium BCE. The site remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the South West of England.
