Adam's Grave is a Neolithic long barrow situated on Walker's Hill in Wiltshire, England, dating to the early fourth millennium BCE. The monument comprises an earthen mound orientated roughly east to west, characteristic of the long barrow tradition of southern Britain's Neolithic period. The barrow would originally have contained a burial chamber, typical of such monuments which served as communal burial places for several individuals over an extended period. Adam's Grave represents an important example of early monumental architecture in the Wiltshire landscape, reflecting the social and ritual practices of Neolithic communities in southern Britain.
