Long Barrow and Round Barrow at Thornwell Farm is a chambered long barrow situated in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM MM206. The site comprises both a long barrow and an associated round barrow, representing prehistoric funerary monuments of the Neolithic period. The long barrow would have functioned as a communal burial structure, typical of early agricultural communities in Britain and Ireland, with an internal chamber arrangement for the deposition of the dead. The presence of both barrow forms at this location suggests successive phases of use and ritual activity across the prehistoric period, reflecting evolving burial practices and the site's continuing significance as a focus for ceremonial and funerary activity.
