Long barrow north of Skelmore Heads, 300m NE of Woodside Farm is a Neolithic chambered burial monument located in Lancashire. The site represents the type of megalithic construction characteristic of the early farming communities of northern Britain during the fourth and third millennia before the Common Era. As a long barrow, the structure would have functioned as a communal burial place, reflecting the ritual and social practices of Neolithic societies in the region. The monument survives as an earthwork, comprising an elongated mound aligned broadly north-south, and represents an important archaeological record of early settlement patterns and funerary practices in Lancashire.
