Poleswood East long barrow is a Neolithic burial mound situated approximately 850 metres north-north-west of St Mary's Church in Gloucestershire. The monument is a long barrow, a characteristically Neolithic form of communal burial monument dating to the fourth and third millennia before the present. Such structures typically comprised an earthen or stone mound elongated in plan, constructed over burial chambers or passage graves that served as repositories for the deceased of Neolithic communities. The barrow represents an important element of the funerary landscape of the Cotswolds region during the early prehistoric period and contributes to the understanding of Neolithic settlement and social practice in the English Midlands.
