Long barrow on Pertwood Down is a Neolithic communal burial monument located on the chalk downland northwest of Lower Pertwood in Wiltshire. The structure dates to the early Neolithic period, representing the characteristic megalithic burial architecture of the fourth millennium BCE. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound of elongated form typical of long barrows in the Wessex region, constructed to contain skeletal remains and grave goods of multiple individuals. As with other monuments of this class, it represents an important focus for ritual and community identity in the Neolithic settlement landscape of Wiltshire.
