Kitchen Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow situated on Kitchen Barrow Hill in Wiltshire, England. The monument consists of an elongated earthwork typical of the early Neolithic period, when such burial mounds served as communal depositories for the dead and functioned as territorial markers across the downland landscape. The barrow's physical form and archaeological context place it within the broader tradition of long barrow construction in southern England, dating to approximately 3800–3000 BCE. As a scheduled ancient monument, Kitchen Barrow remains an important witness to Neolithic funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Wessex region.
