Two long barrows and round barrows on Long Barrow Hill is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monument complex located in Dorset, England. The site comprises multiple barrow mounds, including Neolithic long barrows and later Bronze Age round barrows, representing successive phases of prehistoric mortuary practice spanning several centuries. The monuments reflect the transition in burial customs from the communal interment practices of the Neolithic period to the individual or small-group inhumations characteristic of Bronze Age societies. Such barrow complexes are valuable archaeological records of settlement patterns, social organisation, and funerary ritual in prehistoric southern England.
