History & significance

This monument is a Neolithic long barrow with a Bronze Age round barrow situated 80 metres south of Dally Acre Bottom in Lincolnshire. The site represents two distinct phases of prehistoric burial practice, with the earlier long barrow reflecting Neolithic communal mortuary traditions and the later round barrow indicating individual or small-group burial customs characteristic of the Bronze Age. The superimposition of the Bronze Age round barrow upon or adjacent to the Neolithic structure demonstrates the enduring significance of this location as a burial focus across more than a millennium of prehistoric settlement in the region. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of importance for understanding the continuity and change in funerary practices across the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in the East Midlands.
