Crippets long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Gloucestershire, approximately 680 metres north east of Dryhill Farm. The barrow is aligned broadly east-west and survives as an elongated earthwork mound characteristic of long barrow monuments of the Early Neolithic period, dating to around 3800-3000 BC. Such monuments served as communal repositories for multiple burials and represent significant investment in ceremonial and funerary architecture by early farming communities in the Cotswold region. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument and contributes to the archaeological landscape of Gloucestershire's Neolithic heritage.
