The Tong bowl barrow and long barrow is a Bronze Age and Neolithic burial monument situated in Derbyshire. The site comprises two distinct earthworks: a bowl barrow typical of Bronze Age funerary practice and an associated long barrow representing the earlier Neolithic tradition of communal burial. Both monuments survive as substantial earthen mounds within the landscape, preserving evidence of successive periods of ritual and burial activity across several millennia. The combination of these two monument types at a single location reflects the complex patterns of ritual reuse and monument building across prehistoric Derbyshire.
