Notgrove long barrow is a Neolithic chambered long barrow located in Gloucestershire, in the Cotswolds region of England. Constructed during the Neolithic period, the monument comprises a substantial earthwork mound containing an internal stone-built chamber, characteristic of the megalithic burial architecture of fourth-millennium Britain. The barrow originally held multiple inhumations and represents the type of communal burial monument that served as a focal point for early agricultural communities. Its preservation as a scheduled monument reflects its importance as evidence for Neolithic funerary practice and social organisation in the English Midlands.
