Fairy Toot, Neolithic long barrow in Nempnett Thrubwell, England.
The elongated earth mound of Fairy Toot extends 60 meters in length, 25 meters in width, and reaches a height of 2.5 meters with stone wall reinforcement.
Between 1787 and 1835, Reverend Thomas Bere and Reverend John Skinner conducted excavations that revealed two rows of cells formed by large stones set edgeways.
The archaeological remains at Fairy Toot reflect the burial practices of Neolithic communities, with multiple chambers arranged for communal interments.
Located 350 meters south-southwest of Howgrove Farm, visitors can reach the site through rural paths while observing preservation guidelines for scheduled monuments.
A human skull discovered at this burial site is now preserved and displayed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery for public viewing.
