Long barrow 500m SSE of Guiting Hill Farm is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated in the Cotswolds of Gloucestershire. The monument comprises an elongated earthwork typical of the long barrow tradition, which dates to the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE. Such structures served as collective burial places for communities and often contained stone or timber chambers where human remains were deposited over generations. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important example of early agricultural society's monumental architecture in the region.
