Adam's Grave is a Neolithic long barrow situated on Walker's Hill in Wiltshire, England. The monument dates to the Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 2500 BCE, and represents a form of communal burial structure characteristic of early farming communities in prehistoric Britain. The barrow is aligned broadly east to west and retains significant earthwork remains despite being damaged and ploughed in antiquity. As a long barrow, the structure would have served as a focal point for ritual activity and burial practice, containing multiple inhumations within a chambered or non-chambered passage structure typical of Neolithic collective monuments.
