Giants' Hill II is a Neolithic long barrow located near Skendleby in Lincolnshire. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the characteristic burial architecture of this era, constructed as a substantial earthen mound designed to contain human remains and grave goods. The barrow survives as a prominent landscape feature approximately 400 metres west-north-west of Skendleby Lodge Farm, retaining sufficient physical integrity to merit statutory protection under the heritage designation system. Such long barrows are significant archaeological witnesses to early agricultural communities in Britain and their burial practices during the fourth and third millennia before the Common Era.
