The Tong bowl barrow and long barrow is a Neolithic funerary monument located in Derbyshire, consisting of both a bowl barrow and an associated long barrow. The site dates to the Neolithic period, representing an important phase of ceremonial and burial practice in the English Midlands. The monument's dual structure reflects the evolution of barrow construction during prehistoric times, with the long barrow form being characteristic of earlier Neolithic communal burial traditions whilst the bowl barrow represents a later funerary development. The physical remains of both features survive as earthworks on the landscape, constituting a significant archaeological resource for understanding Neolithic settlement and mortuary practices in the region.
