Corton long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site represents one of the characteristic long barrow types constructed during the Early Neolithic period, broadly dating to between 4000 and 3000 BCE. The monument survives as an earthwork comprising an elongated mound, a form typical of these communal burial structures which often contained stone or timber chambers for the interment of multiple individuals. Long barrows of this type are among the earliest monumental architecture in Britain and provide important archaeological evidence for Neolithic settlement patterns and funerary practices.
