Lyneham long barrow and standing stone is a Neolithic burial monument located in Oxfordshire, approximately 480 metres north-east of Hill Barn. The site comprises a long barrow, a characteristic megalithic tomb of the early Neolithic period, alongside an associated standing stone. Long barrows of this type were used as communal burial places and represent some of the earliest monumental architecture in Britain, typically dating to the fourth millennium before Christ. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of considerable importance for understanding early Neolithic settlement, burial practice, and social organisation in the region.
