Two Neolithic long barrows 590m north-east of Thorn Covert, West Ashby, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument comprising a pair of funerary monuments dating to the Neolithic period. These earthworks represent important evidence of early agricultural communities in Lincolnshire and their burial practices during the fourth and third millennia BC. The barrows survive as substantial soil and chalk earthworks characteristic of the long barrow monument type, which typically served as communal burial chambers for multiple interments. Their location in the fenland margins of Lincolnshire reflects the settlement patterns of Neolithic populations exploiting both upland and wetland resources in the region.
