The Mottistone Longstone is a megalithic monument situated high up on Mottistone Down that is thought to be the remains of an ancient burial chamber known as a long barrow. Located near the village of Mottistone, the monument dates back several thousand years and is made up of two large slabs of local greensand sandstone that were once revered as sacred objects during the Neolithic period. The Mottistone Longstone is the only megalithic monument on the Island and is in the care of the National Trust. The stones and their surrounding land are open to the public to explore.
