Lechmore long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Gloucestershire, England. The site represents the type of communal burial structure typical of the early Neolithic period in Britain, constructed to contain the remains of multiple individuals from a single community. Like other long barrows in the Cotswolds region, it would have served both as a functional burial chamber and as a territorial or ancestral marker within the landscape. The monument is recorded within the National Heritage List for England and remains an important archaeological witness to early farming societies in the Severn Valley area during the fourth and third millennia before the present.
