Platform barrow 200m ESE of the Long Man of Wilmington is a Neolithic ceremonial or burial monument located on the South Downs near Wilmington in East Sussex. The barrow takes the form of a low, artificially raised platform with a roughly rectangular or sub-rectangular plan, characteristic of platform barrows constructed during the Neolithic period. Its precise proximity to the Long Man of Wilmington, a later geomorphic figure, indicates its position within an archaeologically significant landscape. Platform barrows of this type are thought to have served ritual functions, potentially associated with communal burial practices or ceremonial gatherings during the Neolithic era, though the specific funerary arrangements at this particular site remain incompletely understood from available archaeological documentation.
