Poleswood South long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located approximately 950 metres north-west of St Mary's Church in Gloucestershire, England. The structure consists of an earthen mound characteristic of long barrows from the Neolithic period, typically dating to between 3800 and 3000 BCE. Such monuments served as communal burial places and represent significant ritual and social investment by early farming communities of the fourth millennium BCE. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological and historical record of prehistoric settlement and funerary practice in the Cotswolds region.
