College Plantation long barrow and round barrows is a complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monuments located in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic date together with later round barrows of Bronze Age construction, representing successive phases of ritual burial practice spanning several centuries. The long barrow represents the earlier Neolithic period of monument building in the region, whilst the round barrows indicate the continuation and evolution of funerary traditions during the Bronze Age. Such barrow complexes are valuable archaeological resources for understanding patterns of settlement, land use, and ceremonial practice in prehistoric Gloucestershire.
