Nympsfield long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Gloucestershire, south of Hill Farm Cottage. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork with a distinctive elongated mound form characteristic of early Neolithic funerary architecture, dating to approximately 3500–2500 BCE. The site represents an important example of Cotswold-Severn long barrows, a regional variant of megalithic burial structures that served as focal points for community ceremonial practice and the interment of multiple individuals over extended periods. The barrow remains a significant archaeological witness to Neolithic settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the region.
