Long barrow on Sutton Common is a Neolithic burial monument located in Suffolk, England. The barrow survives as an earthwork on Sutton Common and represents the characteristic long mound form typical of early Neolithic communal burial practices in Britain, dating to approximately 4000–3000 BC. Such monuments served as repositories for multiple interments and held considerable significance as territorial markers within Neolithic settlement patterns. The site's preservation as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of early farming communities in East Anglia.
