Long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located east of Milston Down in Wiltshire, England. Dating to the Neolithic period, it represents one of a pair of long barrows in this location, a form characteristic of early agricultural communities in southern Britain during the fourth and third millennia before the common era. The monument's earthwork structure, typical of its type, would have served as a communal burial chamber for a prehistoric community. Long barrows of this region provide important archaeological evidence for understanding Neolithic settlement patterns, ritual practices, and social organisation across the Wessex landscape.
