Nympsfield Long Barrow, Neolithic burial site near Frocester, United Kingdom.
The barrow features three stone chambers connected by a central passage, measuring 27 meters in length and 18 meters in width at its widest point.
Archaeological excavations in 1862, 1937, and 1974 revealed twenty-three human remains, along with Neolithic pottery and evidence of burial ceremonies at the site.
The chambers contain artifacts including haematite possibly used as face paint, pottery fragments, and evidence of ceremonial meals during burial practices.
Located off the B4066 road with adjacent parking facilities, the site remains open for free exploration during daylight hours throughout the year.
The stone gallery leads to two side chambers and an end chamber, with constricting stones placed deliberately to control access to different burial areas.
