Long barrow and truncated long barrow west of White Pit is a Neolithic burial monument located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises two earthwork structures of the type characteristic of the Early Neolithic period, approximately 4000 to 3000 BC, when such communal burial monuments were constructed across southern Britain. Long barrows served as collective tombs, typically aligned east-west and built from earth and stone to contain multiple inhumations. The truncated condition of one of the two barrows at this site reflects the effects of later disturbance and agricultural activity on these ancient monuments.
