One of a group of Neolithic long barrows to the north-west of Claxby St Andrew, known as Deadmen's Graves. This barrow is visible as an earthwork, on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}{8} Neolithic long barrow 495m north of Moon Wood, also known as Deadmen's Graves 2. It stands as a prominent earthwork clearly visible from the public highway. It is located 50m above sea level, below the summit of a spur above the source of the Burlands Beck. The barrow is aligned east to west, is approximately 57m long by 18m wide and stands to a height of some 2m at the eastern end, decreasing over its length to c.0.3m in the south. A small chalk pit has encroached upon the mound's central section, but otherwise the mound remains largely intact and there has been no interference at the eastern end which will retain the highest concentration of mortuary evidence. Material for the mound would have been quarried from an encircling causewayed ditch and although this ditch is not now visible, it is thought to survive buried beneath the present ground surface. {9}{10}{11}{12}
