The Camp long barrow is a Neolithic chambered tomb located in Gloucestershire, England, dating to the fourth millennium BC. The monument consists of an earthen mound with a stone-built chamber, characteristic of the long barrow tradition practised across southern Britain during the early Neolithic period. Such structures served as communal burial places and represent significant investments in monumental construction by early agricultural societies. The site remains an important archaeological record of Neolithic funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Cotswold region.
