Two cairns forming part of a cairnfield on Longstone Hill is an ancient monument located in Devon, England. The cairnfield represents a Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial landscape, reflecting the ritual practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in the Southwest. These stone monuments, constructed from locally gathered material, form part of a broader distribution of cairns across the upland terrain typical of Dartmoor and surrounding areas during the second millennium BCE. The surviving cairns retain archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age burial practice and the long-term occupation and exploitation of Devon's moorland regions.
