Longstone is a hamlet in Cornwall, England.[1] It is about one mile east of St Mabyn on the B3266 road. It is named after the menhir which formerly stood here.

The "Longstone" was a standing stone which was broken up for gateposts around 1850.[2] It was said to have been inscribed, thus making it early medieval.[2]

There is however a later medieval cross by the crossroads.[3] It consists of a medieval crosshead placed on a modern rough hewn shaft which has been set into a medieval moorstone slab base.[3]
