Lugbury Long Barrow is a Neolithic chambered tomb of the Cotswold-Severn tradition near Nettleton in Wiltshire, England, constructed between approximately 3800 and 3625 BC. Originally measuring 219 by 78 feet, it contained four stone cists on its southern side with seven, zero, nine, and ten skeletons respectively, discovered during George Poulett Scrope's 1854 excavation. The eastern end features a large capstone resting against two upright limestone slabs forming a false entrance portal. Designated Scheduled Monument SM 12290, the barrow is now classified as at risk due to ploughing encroachment.
