Long barrow in Barrow Copse is a Neolithic funerary monument located in Wiltshire, England. Dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 4000–3000 BCE, it represents the type of communal burial structure characteristic of this era in southern Britain. The monument survives as an elongated earthwork mound, typical of long barrows, which would have contained a stone or timber burial chamber beneath its length. Such monuments are among the earliest monumental structures in the British archaeological record and demonstrate the significance of formal burial practices and territorial organisation in Neolithic society.
