Whiteleaf Hill is a Neolithic long barrow situated on the chalk downland of the Chilterns near the village of Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. The monument dates to the Neolithic period, representing one of the significant ritual and burial monuments of early farming communities in southern England. The barrow lies approximately fifty metres to the east of Whiteleaf Cross, a later chalk-cut monument, and survives as an earthwork on the hillside. As a designated ancient monument, it forms part of the archaeological landscape that documents the settlement and ceremonial practices of Neolithic Buckinghamshire.
