Barrow in Aswarby Park is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Lincolnshire. The monument survives as an earthwork within the landscaped grounds of Aswarby Park, where it has been preserved as part of the designed landscape. As a barrow, it represents funerary practice during the Bronze Age period, when such mounds were constructed to cover inhumations or cremations of the deceased. The site's survival within the park setting, rather than in open countryside, has afforded it protection and contributes to its archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement and burial customs in the region.
