The site 70 metres north of Uffington Castle on Whitehorse Hill is a Neolithic long barrow and Romano-British inhumation cemetery. The long barrow represents a significant funerary monument of the Neolithic period, reflecting the ritual practices and social organisation of early farming communities in the chalk downlands of Berkshire. The Romano-British inhumation cemetery demonstrates the continued use of this elevated location for burial purposes during the Roman occupation of Britain, indicating the site's enduring importance as a focus for mortuary practice across more than three thousand years. The juxtaposition of these two burial features reflects the complex settlement and ceremonial patterns associated with Whitehorse Hill, one of the region's most prominent Iron Age hillforts.
