Neolithic long barrow and Iron Age enclosure north of Grebby Hall is a multi-period monument located in Lincolnshire, comprising earthwork remains of two distinct archaeological phases. The site includes a Neolithic long barrow, a characteristic burial monument of the fourth and third millennia before the common era, along with later Iron Age defensive or boundary earthworks that overlie or adjoin the earlier structure. The monument demonstrates the continued significance of prehistoric sacred and territorial sites, with later Iron Age communities reusing or refortifying the landscape around the ancient burial mound. The surviving earthworks provide evidence of settlement patterns and land use across more than two millennia of prehistoric occupation in the region.
