Long barrow and enclosure 870m ENE of Copley Hill Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises both a long barrow, a characteristic burial mound of the Neolithic period, and an associated enclosure, suggesting a ritual or ceremonial function beyond simple sepulchral use. The monument's physical form and the presence of the enclosure indicate the site held significance for local Neolithic communities, likely serving as a focal point for communal activities and deposition of the dead during the fourth millennium before Christ. As a survival from the earliest periods of British agriculture and settled society, the site contributes to understanding of Neolithic settlement patterns and monumental practices in eastern England.
