Longstone is a complex monument comprising multiple structures of different periods located in Cornwall. The site includes a prehistoric standing stone, a medieval wayside cross, and a post-medieval guide post, reflecting successive phases of use and modification across more than four thousand years. The medieval cross and its base represent the Christianisation of the landscape and the importance of this location as a route marker for pilgrims and travellers. The subsequent addition of the guide post during the post-medieval period indicates the continuing significance of the site as a waypoint along established routes.
