Crickley long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located on the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire. The structure dates to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3800–3400 BCE, and comprises an earthen mound aligned roughly east–west, characteristic of long barrow construction practices across southern Britain during this era. The barrow contained evidence of multiple inhumations, indicating its use as a collective burial place over an extended period. Excavation work has revealed important information about early farming communities and their mortuary practices, contributing significantly to understanding Neolithic settlement and ritual behaviour in the region.
