West Tump long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Gloucestershire, England. The barrow survives as an earthwork with a distinctive elongated mound characteristic of long barrows constructed during the early Neolithic period, roughly between 4000 and 3000 BCE. Such monuments served as communal burial places and represent significant developments in funerary practice following the arrival of farming communities in Britain. West Tump contributes to the important concentration of long barrows found in the Cotswold region, reflecting the settlement patterns and ritual practices of early farming societies in the Midlands and South West.
