Longstone Barrow is a Bronze Age round barrow located in Devon, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound constructed during the Bronze Age, a period when such burial structures were widely established across southern Britain as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of significant individuals. The barrow survives as a visible landscape feature, testament to the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities. As a protected heritage monument, Longstone Barrow contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and ritual practices in Devon during prehistory.
