Lamborough Banks is a Neolithic long barrow located in Gloucestershire, England, forming part of a barrow cemetery that includes a second long barrow situated approximately 240 metres to the south-east. The monument dates to the Neolithic period, reflecting the tradition of communal burial practices characteristic of early farming communities in prehistoric Britain. Both barrows survive as earthwork features, though their physical condition and dimensions reflect centuries of agricultural use and natural erosion. The paired arrangement of these monuments suggests a significant ritual or settlement focus within the local Neolithic landscape, typical of barrow groups found throughout the Cotswold region.
