Long barrow 580m south-west of Woodcott Church is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated in Hampshire. The barrow represents the characteristic funerary architecture of the early farming communities of southern Britain, dating to the period roughly between 4000 and 3000 BC. As a long barrow, it would have functioned as a collective tomb, likely serving multiple burials over an extended period and forming a prominent territorial marker in the landscape. The monument survives as an earthwork mound and remains an important archaeological record of Neolithic settlement patterns and burial practices in the Hampshire chalklands.
