Full Description
Cropmarks of a probable Neolithic long barrow, to the east of Calceby. Identified on aerial photographs examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}{2}
The long barrow is situated on an upper valley slope, overlooking Calceby Beck to the west. It lies at 60m above sea level, with the long axis traversing the contours, and is aligned east-south-east to west-north-west. It is an oval enclosure, with its side ditches showing as a wider mark. Fieldwalking on the site in 1989 revealed no surface traces or finds. {3}
This probable long barrow to the north of Haugh Walk Plantation was assessed for scheduling by Historic England in April 2021. It was decided that the criteria for scheduling was not met in this instance, as the barrow could not be discerned on more recent aerial imagery, and the degree of its survival was unclear. {4}{5}
