Cairn forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is an ancient burial monument of Bronze Age date located in Devon, England. The site comprises a cairnfield, a scatter of stone burial cairns typical of upland Bronze Age funerary landscapes in south-western Britain. The individual cairns are constructed from stone heaps and represent the burial practices of Bronze Age communities who utilised this elevated location for their dead. Such cairnfields are characteristic features of Dartmoor and surrounding moorland areas, reflecting the intensive use of upland zones during the Bronze Age period for both settlement and ceremonial purposes.
