Round cairn forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon. The cairn is one of several monuments comprising a cairnfield, a characteristic grouping of barrows and burial structures typical of upland Bronze Age landscape use in south-western England. As a round cairn, it would have functioned as a funerary monument, constructed to mark and contain inhumation or cremation burials of the Bronze Age period. The monument remains visible as an earthwork on the landscape, contributing to the archaeological significance of the Longstone Hill cairnfield as a whole.
