Overview

History & significance

The Neolithic long barrow and Iron Age enclosure north of Grebby Hall is a scheduled ancient monument in Lincolnshire combining evidence of occupation across two distinct prehistoric periods. The long barrow represents Neolithic funerary practice, a monument type characteristic of early farming communities in Britain dating to approximately 4000–3000 BC. The Iron Age enclosure, dating to the later prehistoric period around 800–100 BC, indicates subsequent use and settlement activity at the location. The survival of both features at this site provides archaeological evidence of discontinuous but significant human activity in this part of Lincolnshire across more than three millennia.
