A long barrow 120m north of Westow Grange is a Neolithic burial monument located in Yorkshire, England, designated on the National Heritage List for England under reference 1008302. The barrow represents a substantial earthwork from the prehistoric period, constructed as a communal burial structure typical of early farming communities in Britain. The monument's physical form incorporates elements of a later medieval field system, demonstrating how the ancient landscape feature remained a persistent element in the agricultural geography of the area through subsequent centuries. The survival of both the prehistoric burial mound and its integration with medieval land use patterns provides evidence of the long-term continuity and reuse of significant topographic features across multiple periods of occupation and land management.
