Chettle Long Barrow is a Neolithic burial mound located at the north-east corner of Eastbury Park near Chettle in Dorset. The monument is a long barrow, a characteristic burial form of the early Neolithic period dating to approximately 3500 to 2500 BCE, representing one of the earliest permanent monuments constructed in prehistoric Britain. The barrow survives as an earthen mound, testament to its original construction as a communal burial structure for multiple interments. Long barrows of this type are significant archaeological features that provide evidence for early agricultural communities and their ritual practices, and Chettle's example contributes to understanding settlement and burial patterns in Dorset during the formative Neolithic period.
