Long barrow 50m north-east of Down Farm is a Neolithic burial monument located in Hampshire. The site represents a characteristic example of the long barrow tradition dating to the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE, when communal burial practices were prevalent in southern Britain. Such monuments typically consisted of earthen or stone-built chambers within elongated mounds, serving as focal points for the ritual interment of community members over extended periods. The barrow's survival and recorded location indicate its continued archaeological significance as evidence of Neolithic settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Hampshire landscape.
