Barrow on Coombe Down is a Neolithic long barrow situated on the chalk downland of Wiltshire in south-west England. The monument consists of an elongated earthwork mound oriented roughly north-south, characteristic of funerary structures from the fourth millennium BCE. The barrow has been subject to antiquarian investigation and modification over the centuries, though its core structure remains visible as an archaeological feature on the landscape. Such monuments typically served as communal burial places and represent significant centres of ritual and social importance within early farming communities of Neolithic Britain.
