Bevis's Grave is a Neolithic long barrow situated approximately 100 metres west of Belmont Castle in Hampshire, England. The monument represents a significant example of early prehistoric burial practice, dating to the Neolithic period when such earthworks served as communal tombs for multiple interments. The site later saw use as an early medieval cemetery, indicating continued ritual or burial significance at this location across a considerable span of time. The long barrow's earthwork construction and archaeological associations make it an important record of both Neolithic funerary practice and the persistence of sacred or significant landscape features into the medieval period.
