Fussell's long barrow is a Neolithic chambered tomb located near Wilsford in Wiltshire, dating to the early fourth millennium BC. The monument consists of a long earthen mound aligned roughly east-west, originally containing a stone burial chamber of the type characteristic of early Neolithic communal funerary practice in southern England. Excavations in the 1950s revealed human remains and Neolithic pottery, providing evidence of its use as a collective burial place during the early phases of the Neolithic period. The barrow represents an important example of monumental architecture from the period when farming communities first became established in Britain.
