Long barrow 650m WSW of Shepherds' Shore is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site represents the characteristic long mound form typical of early Neolithic funerary practice in southern Britain, dating to approximately 3500 BCE or later. As a designated heritage monument, it forms part of the significant concentration of prehistoric burial architecture documented across Wiltshire's chalk downlands, a region particularly rich in Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments. The barrow's survival and official recognition reflect its importance to understanding early agricultural communities and their mortuary practices during the earliest phases of settled occupation in Britain.
