White Barrow, Neolithic long barrow in Tilshead, England.

White Barrow extends 77.5 meters in length and 47 meters in width, featuring an earthen mound with a surrounding ditch on Salisbury Plain.

The National Trust purchased White Barrow in 1909 for £60, marking their first acquisition of an archaeological site for preservation purposes.

The burial site contains evidence of Neolithic practices through items discovered in excavations, including struck flints, pottery, and deer antler remains.

The scheduled monument status of White Barrow ensures legal protection while maintaining public access through designated pathways across Salisbury Plain.

A 1997 geophysical survey revealed a potential burial chamber within the barrow and an arc of post pits at its eastern section.
