Description: | PRN 50241
THE MONUMENT INCLUDES THE REMAINS OF A PLOUGHED OUT NEOLITHIC LONG BARROW. IT IS OF TRAPEZOIDAL FORM WITH TAPERING SIDE DITCHES. THERE ARE AREAS OF DISTURBANCE ALONG THE FLANKS BUT THE CIRCUIT IS COMPLETE. THIS SUGGESTS THAT IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIMPLER FORM OF THE LINCOLNSHIRE WOLDS LONG BARROW. {1}{2}{6}
THE LONG BARROW IS SITUATED ON A FALSE CREST, ADJACENT TO THE HIGH STREET RIDGEWAY, OVERLOOKING THE HEAD OF A DRY VALLEY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIVER RASE VALLEY. IT IS ALIGNED SE-NW, AND THE LONG AXIS RUNS PARALLEL TO THE CONTOURS. IT IS A TRAPEZOIDAL ENCLOSURE CONTAINING AN IRREGULAR PIT-LIKE DISTURBANCE ON THE EAST. FIELDWALKING REVEALED NO TRACES OR FINDS. {3}, LENGTH 32M, WIDTH 14M, HTM 140M | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 4000BC - 2351BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
