Stoney Littleton long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located near Wellow in Somerset, dating to around 3500 BCE. The barrow comprises a stone-built cairn approximately 55 metres in length, oriented east-west, with a cruciform burial chamber accessed by a passage at its eastern end. The monument is constructed of drystone walling and retains much of its original structural integrity, including the corbelled roof of the passage and chamber, making it one of the best-preserved examples of a Somerset long barrow. The site represents an important example of Neolithic monumental architecture and funerary practice in south-western Britain, with evidence suggesting it was used for multiple internments over an extended period.
