West Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow situated approximately 200 metres west of Leighterton School in Gloucestershire. The monument dates to the early Neolithic period and represents the characteristic earthwork funerary architecture of prehistoric Britain, when communal burial mounds served both practical and ceremonial functions within early agricultural communities. The barrow's physical form consists of an elongated mound typical of long barrow construction, a monument type distributed widely across southern England and Wales during the fourth and third millennia before the present era. As a scheduled ancient monument, West Barrow remains significant for understanding Neolithic settlement patterns and burial practices in the Cotswold region.
