Uley Long Barrow, Neolithic burial chamber in Uley, England
The trapezoidal burial mound extends 37 meters in length and 34 meters in width, reaching a height of 3 meters at its peak point.
Archaeological excavations in 1821 and 1854 revealed the remains of 23 individuals, along with Roman artifacts indicating continued use through different periods.
The burial structure demonstrates the funeral practices of Neolithic communities and their methods for preserving the remains of community members.
The entrance passage measures 7 meters long and leads to a central chamber, with two additional tombs located on the southern side of the corridor.
The structure bears the name Hetty Pegler's Tump, after the wife of a seventeenth-century landowner who held rights to the property.
