Rockhurst long barrow is a Neolithic chambered monument located in Derbyshire, England. The site comprises a long barrow of characteristic Neolithic design alongside an adjacent bowl barrow, representing two distinct phases of prehistoric burial practice. The long barrow belongs to the Early Neolithic period, when communal burial monuments were constructed across Britain, whilst the bowl barrow represents the later Bronze Age tradition of individual or small-group interment. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of the region's prehistoric settlement and funerary practices, preserved within the Derbyshire landscape as part of the county's significant Neolithic and Bronze Age heritage.
