Crickley long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Gloucestershire, situated on the Cotswolds. The barrow is aligned approximately north-south and retains substantial earthwork remains characteristic of long barrows from the early Neolithic period, typically dating to around 3800–3400 BCE. The site represents an important example of communal burial practice during the early agricultural colonisation of Britain, when such monumental structures served as focal points for ritual and collective identity within emerging farming communities. The barrow's preservation and archaeological significance contribute to understanding settlement and burial patterns across the Cotswold region during this formative period of British prehistory.
