Long barrow on Bere Down is a Neolithic burial monument located approximately one kilometre north-east of Roke Barn in Dorset. The structure comprises an elongated earthen mound characteristic of long barrows built during the early Neolithic period, typically between 4000 and 3000 BC. Such monuments served as communal burial places and represent significant expressions of Neolithic settlement and ritual practice in southern Britain. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric funerary customs and landscape use in Dorset.
