Neolithic long cairn north-east of Louden Hill is a Neolithic monumental burial structure located in Cornwall. The monument dates from the Neolithic period and represents the type of communal burial architecture characteristic of early farming communities in Britain. Long cairns of this period typically served as collective tombs, their linear mounded form constructed from stone and earth to cover burial deposits and associated ritual activity. The Cornish landscape retains numerous examples of such Neolithic funerary monuments, which are among the earliest substantial structures built by settled populations in the region.
