Two cairns forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is an ancient monument located in Devon, England. The cairns are Bronze Age in date and represent part of a broader distribution of burial and ceremonial monuments characteristic of upland landscapes during the second millennium BC. As components of a larger cairnfield, they reflect the sustained use of this moorland area for funerary and ritual practices across an extended period. The surviving earthworks demonstrate the patterns of prehistoric land use and monument construction typical of Dartmoor and its surrounding uplands during the Bronze Age.
