Pimperne Long Barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Dorset, England, dating to the early Bronze Age period or earlier Neolithic era. The barrow survives as an elongated earthwork mound, characteristic of long barrows constructed during the fourth and third millennia before the present, and represents an important example of monumental funerary architecture from prehistoric Britain. Such monuments typically contained communal burial deposits and served as focal points for ritual and territorial significance within their local landscapes. The site remains on the National Heritage List for England and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and burial practices in the Dorset region during the prehistoric period.
