Long barrow 360m SSW of Chettle House is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Dorset. The barrow dates to the early Neolithic period and represents one of the long mound burial traditions characteristic of southern England during the fourth millennium BCE. As a long barrow, it would have served as a focal point for a community's ritual and burial practices, containing a chambered structure within its earthen mound where multiple individuals were interred over an extended period. The monument survives as an earthwork and remains a significant archaeological record of Neolithic settlement and funerary practice in the Dorset landscape.
