Hazleton long barrows comprise two Neolithic communal burial monuments constructed during the early fourth millennium BC in the Cotswolds. Both North and South Hazleton, located near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, are substantial earthworks comprising a mound enclosed by a ditch, with evidence of stone structures within their fabric. The barrows contained human skeletal remains distributed across multiple burial chambers, reflecting the characteristics of Cotswold-Severn tombs typical of Neolithic funerary practice in the region. These monuments represent significant evidence for Neolithic settlement patterns and ritual practices in early British prehistory.
