Long mound 1500yds (1370m) E of Higher Farm is a Neolithic earthwork located in Dorset, England. The monument takes the form of an elongated mound characteristic of the Neolithic period, when such burial and ceremonial structures were constructed across southern Britain. Long mounds of this type typically date from the earlier Neolithic, roughly 4000 to 3000 BC, and often served as communal burial places or ritual centres for prehistoric communities. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates its archaeological importance as evidence of early agricultural settlement and ceremonial practice in the Dorset landscape.
