Long Barrow and Round Barrow 540m north-west of Goody Orchin Plantation is a scheduled monument comprising two distinct burial mounds located in Lincolnshire. The site consists of a Neolithic long barrow and an adjacent Bronze Age round barrow, representing successive periods of ritual burial practice spanning several millennia. The long barrow represents the earlier Neolithic tradition of communal burial monuments, whilst the round barrow demonstrates the shift towards individual or small-group interment characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice. The juxtaposition of these two monument types on a single site provides archaeological evidence of long-term continuity in the use of this landscape for burial purposes.
