Pinkwell long barrow is a Neolithic chambered burial mound located in Gloucestershire, England. The monument belongs to the tradition of long barrow construction characteristic of the early Neolithic period, roughly dating to between 4000 and 3000 BC, when such monumental tombs were erected across southern Britain for communal burial purposes. The barrow remains as a significant archaeological witness to early farming communities and their funerary practices in the Cotswold region.
