Tadnoll Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow situated in Dorset, England. The monument consists of an elongated earthwork mound characteristic of Neolithic burial practices in southern Britain, dating to the fourth millennium BC. Long barrows of this type served as communal burial chambers and represent some of the earliest monumental architecture in the British Isles, reflecting the ritual and social organisation of early farming communities. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork, despite later disturbance, preserves evidence of Neolithic funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
