Chapman Longstone is a Bronze Age standing stone located in Devon, England. The monument consists of a single upright stone that survives as evidence of ritual or territorial practice during the prehistoric period. Such megaliths are characteristic of Bronze Age monument construction in south-western England, though the precise date of erection and original function remain matters for archaeological interpretation. The stone's survival to the present day demonstrates the enduring presence of Bronze Age ritual landscapes in the Devon countryside.
