Bevis's Grave is a Neolithic long barrow situated approximately 100 metres west of Belmont Castle in Hampshire. The monument represents a significant example of early prehistoric funerary architecture, constructed during the Neolithic period as a communal burial monument. The site was subsequently reused during the early medieval period as a cemetery, demonstrating continued ritual and burial significance at this location across more than three thousand years of occupation history. The barrow's dual-period use illustrates the enduring importance of certain landscape locations for successive communities in southern England.
