The Soulton Long Barrow and Ritual Landscape is a modern memorial in the form of a long barrow[2] in the Soulton landscape[3] near Wem in Shropshire, England.
The barrow contains niches for the placement of cremation urns.[4] It is also intended for wider celebration of life and community activity. The structure is a sequence of stone chambers under an earthen mound, and was begun in 2017, with a principal stone being laid in the spring of 2018,[5][6] and an early stone being added by writer and historian Tom Holland.[7]
