Two long barrows on Gussage Hill is a Neolithic funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The barrows date to the Neolithic period and represent an important class of communal burial structures characteristic of early agricultural communities in southern Britain. Long barrows of this type typically contained multiple inhumations and served as focal points for ritual activity within prehistoric settlements. The Gussage Hill examples contribute to the archaeological understanding of Neolithic mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape during the fourth and third millennia before the present.
