Long barrow north of Robin Hood Ball Clump is a Neolithic burial monument located in Wiltshire. This earthen long barrow belongs to the early Neolithic period, likely dating to around 4000–3000 BCE, and represents a form of communal burial practice characteristic of early farming communities in southern Britain. The monument survives as an elongated mound, typical of long barrows constructed during this era to serve as collective tombs for multiple individuals. Such monuments are among the oldest surviving structures in the British landscape and provide important evidence for the beliefs, social organisation, and funerary practices of Neolithic societies.
