Long barrow and enclosure 870m ENE of Copley Hill Farm is a Neolithic monument located in Cambridgeshire, comprising a long barrow with an associated enclosure. The site dates to the Early Neolithic period, representing the funerary and ceremonial practices of some of Britain's earliest farming communities. The long barrow form itself indicates a communal burial structure, typical of the fourth millennium BCE, serving as a focal point for ritual activity and landscape use by the local population. The enclosure element suggests the site held broader ceremonial or domestic significance beyond its primary function as a sepulchral monument.
