Long mortuary enclosure and associated barrow 120m south of Rushey Weir is a Neolithic monument located in Berkshire. The site comprises a mortuary enclosure—a rectangular ditched structure characteristic of early Neolithic funerary practice—alongside an associated burial mound, representing a form of communal or elite burial arrangement typical of the fourth millennium BCE. Such monuments reflect the ritual and social practices of early farming communities in southern Britain, serving functions related to both the disposal and commemoration of the dead.
