Long barrow 140m north west of Cooks Cottages is a Neolithic burial monument located in Oxfordshire. The monument represents the characteristic earthwork architecture of the early farming communities of southern Britain, dating to the Neolithic period, roughly 4000–3000 BC. As a long barrow, it would have functioned as a communal burial chamber and ceremonial centre for a local group, with its elongated earthen mound containing internal stone or timber structures for depositing the dead. The site's survival as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of early agrarian settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the region.
