Round barrows and ring ditches 530m south east of Barlings Abbey is a Scheduled Monument forming part of the Barlings-Stainfield barrow cemetery in Lincolnshire. The site comprises Bronze Age burial monuments, including ring ditches and associated earthworks that represent a significant prehistoric funerary landscape. The barrows are positioned in the wider archaeological context of Barlings Abbey, a medieval Premonstratensian house founded in the twelfth century, though the prehistoric monuments substantially predate the abbey's establishment. The survival of these earthworks, despite medieval and post-medieval land use in the area, provides important evidence for Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the Lincolnshire landscape.
