The Devil's Den or Devil's Den is a dolmen burial chamber on Fyfield Hill near Marlborough, Wiltshire, England [1]. The chamber is part of a Neolithic passage grave on Fyfield Down [1]. Two standing stones, a capstone and two fallen stones are all that remain of what was the entrance to a long mound, described in the 1920s as being around 230 ft long [1]. The capstone is believed to weigh 17 tons [1]. The burial chamber was reconstructed in 1921 [1].
