Belas Knap is a neolithic, chambered long barrow situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, England. It is a scheduled ancient monument in the care of English Heritage but managed by Gloucestershire County Council. Belas is possibly derived from the Latin word bellus, 'beautiful', which could describe the hill or its view. Knap is derived from the Old English for the top, crest, or summit of a hill.
