Two long mortuary enclosures is a Neolithic monument located approximately 570 metres east and 590 metres east-north-east of Sandford Barton in Devon. The enclosures date to the Neolithic period and represent a form of funerary or ritual architecture characteristic of early farming communities in southern Britain. These linear earthworks, marked by parallel ditches with external banks, served mortuary functions typical of their era, possibly housing the remains of the dead or serving ceremonial purposes connected to burial practice. The monument survives as earthwork traces and forms part of the broader landscape of Neolithic ritual and domestic activity in the region.
