Lechmore round barrows is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a group of round barrows, characteristic burial mounds of the prehistoric period that served as markers for elite or communal interments. Such barrow groups are significant archaeological features indicating sustained use of a burial landscape across generations, and their distribution across the English landscape provides important evidence for settlement patterns and social organisation during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The Lechmore barrows contribute to the archaeological record of funerary practice in the Cotswolds region during these formative prehistoric centuries.
