Long barrow 650m south-east of Cross Thorns Barn is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Yorkshire. The barrow represents a characteristic form of funerary architecture from the early Neolithic period, constructed as an elongated earthwork to serve as a collective tomb for multiple interments. Such monuments testify to the social organisation and ritual practices of early farming communities in northern Britain during the fourth and third millennia before the present. The site's survival and designation as a listed ancient monument reflects its importance as archaeological evidence of early medieval settlement patterns and Neolithic ceremonial practice in the Yorkshire landscape.
