This monument is a composite burial structure comprising a Neolithic long barrow with an attached or overlying Bronze Age round barrow, located in the parish near Dally Acre Bottom in Lincolnshire. The site demonstrates the archaeological layering of funerary practices across two distinct prehistoric periods, with the earlier Neolithic long barrow representing communal burial tradition and the later Bronze Age round barrow indicating a shift towards individual or elite interment. The physical configuration, with the round barrow positioned approximately eighty metres south of Dally Acre Bottom, suggests either deliberate spatial relationship or subsequent reuse of a landscape already marked by earlier monumental activity. This combination of barrow types on a single site provides evidence of continued ritual and ceremonial importance across the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in this region of Lincolnshire.
