Devil's Den is a Neolithic long barrow situated near White Acre in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a stone burial chamber of Sarsen construction, characteristic of the megalithic tradition of southern England dating to the third millennium BC. The site retains substantial structural elements including orthostatic uprights and capstones, which have survived millennia of weathering and agricultural activity. As a chambered long barrow, Devil's Den represents an important example of early monumental funerary architecture and testifies to the sophisticated engineering and social organisation of Neolithic communities in the Wessex region.
