What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Longbury long barrow 600m north west of Slaughtergate Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic long barrow; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (circa 3700–3000 BCE). It is significant as a rare and well-preserved example of early funerary architecture in the region, reflecting communal burial practices and social organisation of Neolithic communities.
