Long barrow 3/4 mile (1200m) SW of St Rumbold's Church is a Neolithic chambered monument located near Pentridge in Dorset. The barrow dates to the Neolithic period and represents one of the characteristic long mound burial structures typical of early farming communities in southern Britain, roughly 3500 to 2500 BCE. Like other monuments of its class, it would have served as a communal burial place and focal point for the local landscape. The site remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Neolithic settlement patterns and burial practices in Dorset.
