Barrow Hill is a Neolithic long barrow and Bronze Age round barrow located in Gloucestershire, England. The site comprises two distinct burial monuments representing successive phases of prehistoric mortuary practice, with the long barrow dating to the Neolithic period and the round barrow to the Bronze Age. The juxtaposition of these two monuments on the same location demonstrates the continuing significance of the site across several millennia of prehistory. Both earthworks survive as upstanding mounds and represent important evidence for burial practices and settlement patterns in the Cotswolds region during early prehistory.
