Long barrow on Salt Hill is a Neolithic chambered tomb located near Basingstoke in Hampshire. The monument dates to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 2500 BCE, and represents an important example of communal burial architecture characteristic of southern English prehistoric societies. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound, though its original stone chambers and architectural details have been substantially damaged or obscured by ploughing and the passage of time. Such monuments served as focal points for Neolithic communities, functioning both as burial places for the dead and as territorial markers within the landscape.
