Withington long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument located in Gloucestershire, dating to the early fourth millennium BC. The structure is a chambered long barrow, a monumental form characteristic of the early farming communities of prehistoric Britain, designed to serve as a communal burial place. The barrow retains evidence of its original stone-built chamber construction, though like many such monuments it has experienced degradation and partial excavation over the centuries. As a scheduled ancient monument, Withington long barrow represents an important survival of the funerary practices and architectural ambitions of Neolithic society in the Cotswolds region.
