A long barrow is a prehistoric tomb from the neolithic period (4000-2000 BC). They are found throughout northern Europe and are long mounds of earth often situated close to rivers or commanding wide views on the tops of hills or ridges. They vary in size, the largest running to over 100 metres long and over 4 metres high. Some have stone chambers inside still accessible to the public today. Inside human skeletons have been discovered buiried with flint knives, arrows and pottery.
Tribes venerated their ancestors long after they had died and continued to worship at these monumnets, conducting solemn ritual ceremonies.
