Long barrow, 575m north-west of Lypiatt Farm is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated in Gloucestershire. The structure belongs to the long barrow tradition characteristic of the Early Neolithic period, approximately 4000–3000 BCE, when such monuments served as focal points for collective burial practices and territorial markers across southern Britain. The barrow would have originally comprised an earthen mound constructed over a stone or timber burial chamber, designed to accommodate multiple interments over an extended period. This monument represents an important aspect of Neolithic funerary architecture in the Cotswolds region and contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and social organisation of early farming communities in the area.
