Long Barrow 440m south-west of Black Plantation is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Lincolnshire. The barrow belongs to the long barrow tradition of the early Neolithic period, characteristic of a funerary practice that flourished across southern Britain from approximately 4000 to 3000 BC. As a linear earthwork mound, it would have served as a collective burial chamber for multiple individuals within a settled community, reflecting the monumental investment early farming societies placed in ancestor veneration and territorial assertion. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains a significant archaeological testimony to Neolithic settlement and ceremonial practice in the East Midlands.
