Long barrow 250m east of Boyton Field Barn is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Wiltshire. The barrow dates to the Early Neolithic period and represents the type of long earthwork constructed for collective inhumation that characterises Neolithic funerary practice across southern Britain. The monument survives as an earthwork, though like many long barrows it has been subject to considerable degradation and modification over subsequent millennia. Such monuments are significant archaeological evidence for early farming communities and their ritual practices, and their preservation contributes to understanding of Neolithic settlement and social organisation in the region.
