Nympsfield long barrow is a Neolithic chambered tomb situated in Gloucestershire and represents a significant example of megalithic burial architecture from the fourth millennium BCE. The monument consists of a substantial earthen mound containing an internal stone chamber, constructed in the characteristic style of the Cotswold-Severn group of long barrows that are distributed across the west of England. Excavations have revealed evidence of multiple inhumations within the chamber, indicating its use as a communal burial site over an extended period during the Neolithic. The barrow survives as a prominent landscape feature and remains an important archaeological site for understanding Neolithic mortuary practices and social organisation in the region.
