What is recorded here

Two ages of death are locked together seventy metres north of Uffington Castle. Neolithic hands built a long barrow, then Romano-British people returned to the same hill and laid their dead in the earth. The hill kept both ceremonies, unchanged while empires and languages turned over it.

The National Heritage List for England records Neolithic long barrow and Romano-British inhumation cemetery 70m north of Uffington Castle on Whitehorse Hill 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.

A Neolithic long barrow and Romano-British inhumation cemetery, built around 3000 BCE and used for burial during the Roman period, is located near Uffington Castle. It is important as a scheduled monument reflecting early prehistoric and Roman settlement and funerary practices in the area.
