A long barrow and a disc barrow in Brigmerston Field is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument complex situated in Wiltshire. The long barrow belongs to the Neolithic period and represents a form of communal burial monument characteristic of early farming communities in southern Britain. The disc barrow, a later Bronze Age addition to the landscape, consists of a raised circular mound surrounded by a ditch and external bank, a form associated with elite burials of the second millennium BCE. Together, these monuments demonstrate the long-term ritual use of this location across several millennia of prehistory.
