Long barrow 170m south west of triangulation pillar on White Sheet Hill is a Neolithic funerary monument situated on the Wiltshire downs. The barrow dates to the early to middle Neolithic period, representing one of the characteristic communal burial structures of prehistoric Britain. The monument survives as an earthwork comprising an elongated mound, typical of long barrows which served as monumental tombs for collective inhumation of the dead. Such monuments are among the earliest substantial architectural works constructed in Britain and reflect the ceremonial and social practices of Neolithic communities during the fourth and third millennia before the Common Era.
