The two cairns forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is an ancient monument comprising Bronze Age funerary structures located in Devon, England. These cairns represent part of a broader cairnfield tradition characteristic of upland Bronze Age burial and ceremonial practices in southwest England, dating to approximately the second millennium BCE. The monument survives as earthwork remains on the hillside, contributing to the archaeological record of prehistoric ritual and mortuary behaviour in the region. Such cairnfield complexes reflect patterns of land use and social organisation during the Bronze Age, with multiple burial monuments clustered across the landscape.
