Wood Barrow long barrow is a Neolithic burial monument situated north of Listercombe Bottom in Gloucestershire. The structure comprises an elongated earthen mound typical of long barrow construction, a form characteristic of early farming communities in Britain during the Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE. Such monuments served as communal burial places and remain among the most significant archaeological features of the Neolithic landscape. The barrow's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical presence of these ancient funerary monuments across the English countryside.
