Long barrow east of Netheravon Bake is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. The earthwork comprises an elongated mound aligned broadly east-west, characteristic of the long barrow form that flourished during the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE. Such monuments functioned as collective burial places for multiple individuals, reflecting the social and ritual practices of early farming communities in prehistoric Britain. The barrow survives as a substantial archaeological feature within the landscape of Wiltshire's downland, contributing to the exceptional density of prehistoric monuments in this region.
