Long barrow 630m north west of Scamridge Farm is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Yorkshire. The site represents the characteristic long mound form typical of early Neolithic funerary architecture in northern England, dating to the period roughly between 4000 and 3000 BCE. The barrow would originally have served as a monumental focus for collective burial practices and ritual activity amongst early farming communities. Its survival as an earthwork demonstrates the persistence of these substantial prehistoric monuments within the Yorkshire landscape, though like many such sites it has been subject to agricultural use and modification over subsequent millennia.
