Longlow long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument situated in Staffordshire, England. The structure dates to the early Neolithic period and represents the characteristic long mound form of megalithic tomb construction prevalent across Britain during this era. As a chambered or earthen long barrow, it would have served as a focal point for ritual and burial practices of early farming communities, reflecting the social organisation and ceremonial importance of the dead within Neolithic society. The monument survives as an earthwork and remains a significant archaeological record of prehistoric mortuary practice in the English Midlands.
