West Barrow is a long barrow situated approximately two hundred metres west of Leighterton School in Gloucestershire. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the type of communal burial structure characteristic of early agricultural societies in Britain, typically constructed between approximately 4000 and 3000 BCE. The barrow survives as an earthwork, though like many such monuments it has undergone considerable degradation over millennia. As a designated heritage asset, it remains of significance for understanding settlement patterns and funerary practices in the Cotswolds region during the Neolithic era.
