Long barrow on Sutton Common is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated in Suffolk. The barrow belongs to the early agricultural period of Britain, dating to approximately 3500–2500 BCE, when long barrows served as focal points for ritual practice and the interment of multiple individuals within kin groups. The monument survives as an earthwork, retaining the characteristic elongated mound form typical of Neolithic burial structures in eastern England. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary practice in the region.
