Tythegston Long Barrow is a Neolithic burial monument situated in Glamorgan, Wales, dating to the Neolithic period. The barrow represents the characteristic long mound form associated with collective burial practices of early farming communities in Britain, with its orientation and constructional method typical of long barrows built during the fourth millennium BC. The monument has been subject to archaeological investigation and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw register. Like other long barrows of its class, it would have functioned as both a burial repository and a focus for ritual activity within its contemporary landscape.
