Long barrow on Therfield Heath is a Neolithic chambered tomb situated in Hertfordshire, England. The monument dates from the early Neolithic period and represents a form of communal burial architecture characteristic of prehistoric Britain, constructed from stone to contain human remains and grave goods. The barrow retains its elongated earthen mound, a defining feature of the long barrow type, which would originally have contained an internal stone chamber accessible through a passage entrance. The site demonstrates the monumental investment in funeral practices by early farming communities in southern England during the fourth and third millennia before the present era.
