Long Barrow on Windover Hill is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated on the South Downs in East Sussex. The barrow dates to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 3000 BCE, and represents one of the characteristic long mound burial structures constructed by early farming communities in southern England. The monument survives as an earthwork, though like many similar structures it has been subject to ploughing and landscape modification over millennia. Its construction would have involved the interment of multiple individuals, reflecting the communal ritual practices associated with early Neolithic settlement and territorial marking in the region.
