Long barrow 350m south west of the Normanton Down round barrow cemetery is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Wiltshire. The barrow dates to the early Neolithic period and represents the characteristic earthwork burial tradition of that era, when such elongated mounds served as collective tombs for multiple individuals within a community. The site lies within the wider landscape of Bronze Age round barrows that characterise the Normanton Down cemetery area, placing it in an important archaeological context for understanding the long chronology of ritual and burial practice in this part of Salisbury Plain. The monument survives as an earthwork and forms part of the protected heritage of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site landscape.
