Long mortuary enclosure and associated barrow 120m south of Rushey Weir is a Neolithic burial monument located in Berkshire. The site comprises a mortuary enclosure with an associated barrow, representing a form of funerary architecture characteristic of the early Neolithic period. The monument's linear mortuary structure would have functioned as a place of exposure or processing of the dead prior to final burial beneath the barrow mound. The survival of both the enclosure and barrow elements makes this site significant for understanding early Neolithic burial practices and settlement patterns in the Thames Valley region.
