Three cairns forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is a Bronze Age monument located in Devon, England. The cairns are burial structures typical of the second millennium BC, constructed from heaped stone and distributed across the hillside as part of a larger funerary landscape. Such cairnfield complexes represent significant concentrations of prehistoric burial activity and provide important evidence for settlement patterns and land use during the Bronze Age. The monument's survival on Longstone Hill contributes to understanding the distribution and chronology of Bronze Age ritual and mortuary practices in the South West of England.
