Cairn forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon, England. The cairnfield comprises multiple stone cairns of varying sizes distributed across the hillside, representing a characteristic funerary landscape of the second millennium BC. Individual cairns within the field typically consist of heaped stones covering cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods indicative of Bronze Age burial practice. The monument group demonstrates the sustained use of upland terrain for burial purposes during the Bronze Age and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding settlement patterns and mortuary practices in southwestern Britain.
