The Toots long barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located on Selsley Common in Gloucestershire. The site consists of an earthen mound aligned approximately east-west, typical of long barrow construction in the Cotswold region during the fourth millennium BC. Long barrows of this type served as collective burial chambers for multiple individuals and represent some of the earliest monumental architecture in Britain, reflecting the agricultural and social structures of Neolithic communities. The monument survives as a scheduled ancient monument and contributes to understanding the prehistoric settlement and ritual practices of the Cotswolds.
