Chambered long barrow N of Loscombe Plantation is a Neolithic burial monument located in Dorset, England. The structure dates to the Neolithic period and represents the characteristic long barrow type, a monumental earthwork constructed to contain burial chambers and serve communal ritual purposes. As with comparable examples in Dorset, the barrow would have functioned as a focal point for funerary practice and landscape organisation during the early farming communities of prehistoric Britain. The site remains a significant archaeological record of Neolithic mortuary tradition and settlement patterns in the region.
