Long barrow 180m north of Lime House is a Neolithic burial monument located in Somerset, England. The site consists of an earthwork mound characteristic of long barrow construction, a funerary form prevalent in Britain during the Early Neolithic period, approximately 4000-3000 BCE. Long barrows of this type typically contained stone or timber burial chambers and served as communal tombs for multiple individuals, reflecting the ritual practices and social organisation of early farming communities. The monument's survival as an earthwork demonstrates its archaeological significance as evidence of Neolithic settlement and mortuary practice in the Somerset landscape.
