Long barrow south-west of Brookenby is a Neolithic burial monument located in Lincolnshire. The barrow represents the funerary practice of the early farming communities that inhabited eastern England during the Neolithic period, typically dating to around 4000–3000 BC. Such long barrows functioned as communal burial chambers, often constructed with earthen mounds covering stone or timber structures and orientated along a broadly east–west axis. The monument survives as an earthwork and forms part of the archaeological record documenting prehistoric settlement patterns in the East Midlands region.
