Long barrow 3/4 mile southwest of St Rumbold's Church is a Neolithic burial monument located in Dorset. The barrow belongs to the long barrow tradition of monumental earthwork construction, dating to the early to mid-Neolithic period, roughly 4000–3000 BC. Long barrows of this type served as communal burial chambers and represent significant investment in funerary architecture by Neolithic farming communities. The monument survives as an earthwork mound and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological and historical importance to understanding Neolithic settlement and burial practices in Dorset.
