Spellow Hills Long Barrow is a Neolithic communal burial monument located in Lincolnshire, England, situated approximately 440 metres south-south-east of Langton Grange Farm. The barrow represents a characteristic example of the long barrow tradition that flourished in Britain during the Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE, when such structures served as focal points for ritual and burial practices within early agricultural communities. The monument survives as an earthwork mound, though its original dimensions and internal structural details reflect the typical construction methods of its era, whereby megalithic or timber chambers were incorporated beneath substantial earthen banks. As a designated heritage asset, the barrow contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric Lincolnshire and provides evidence for patterns of settlement and ceremonial practice in the region during the early Neolithic.
