Long barrow and bowl barrow 430m north west of the Mendip Nature Research Station is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the Mendip plateau in Somerset. The site comprises two distinct burial structures of different periods: a long barrow dating to the Neolithic period, representing one of the earlier forms of communal burial architecture in Britain, and a bowl barrow of Bronze Age date, a circular mound typical of later prehistoric funerary practice. The monument testifies to the extended use of this location for burial purposes across several millennia of prehistory.
