Stoney Littleton long barrow is a Neolithic chambered tomb located near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, dating to approximately 3500 BCE. The monument comprises a long earthen mound containing a stone-built burial chamber with side chambers, characteristic of the Cotswold-Severn group of megalithic tombs. The barrow remains substantially preserved and represents an important example of early Neolithic communal burial practice in the Severn Valley region. Excavations in the eighteenth century revealed deposits of human bone, pottery, and flint implements, confirming its use as a mortuary monument for multiple interments over an extended period.
