Full Description
PRN 43170
PROBABLE NEOLITHIC CROPMARK LONG BARROW. {1}
THE LONG BARROW IS SITUATED ON A FALSE CREST, ON THE NECK OF A FLAT-TOPPED SPUR AT CONFLUENCE WITH THE RIVER LYMN AND A TRIBUTARY, AT ABOUT 58M OD, WITH THE LONG AXIS RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE CONTOURS, AND ALIGNED NW-SE. ELONGATED OVAL-SHAPED ENCLOSURE. THE NORTH TERMINAL IS MORE STRAIGHT, LESS CONVEX THAN THAT TO THE SOUTH; SHOWS AS CROPMARKS. FIELDWALKING IN 1991 YIELDED NO SURFACE TRACES, BUT POSSIBLE EARLY NEOLITHIC CORES. {2}
THE LONG BARROW APPEARS IN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS AS AN ELONGATED ENCLOSURE ORIENTATED NW-SE, DEFINED BY AN INFILLED AND BURIED ENCIRCLING DITCH. THE DITCH IS UNBROKEN BY A CAUSEWAY, A FORM CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SIMPLER TYPE OF LINCOLNSHIRE WOLDS LONG BARROW WHICH IS THOUGHT NOT TO HAVE HAD A MOUND. A BRONZE AGE BOWL BARROW (43719) TO THE NORTH WEST IS INCLUDED IN THE SCHEDULING, AS WELL AS THE GROUND BETWEEN THE BARROWS, WHICH IS THOUGHT TO CONTAIN EVIDENCE FOR RITUAL AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. NOW IN TETFORD PARISH. {4}, HTM 58M
