The Giant's Grave is a Neolithic long barrow located in Wiltshire, England, dating to the period approximately 3500–2500 BCE. The monument comprises an earthen mound with a roughly rectangular plan, characteristic of long barrows of the Wessex region, and would have served as a communal burial structure for a prehistoric community. The site represents the monumental funerary architecture typical of early farming societies in Neolithic Britain, reflecting the social investment in ancestor veneration and collective ritual practice. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the significant concentration of prehistoric ceremonial and funerary sites that define the archaeological landscape of Wiltshire's downland.
