What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two Neolithic long barrows 590m north-east of Thorn Covert, West Ashby as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic long barrows, dating to the early farming period in Britain (circa 3700–2500 BCE), are among the earliest forms of monumental burial in the region. These barrows are significant as they reflect the development of complex social structures and ritual practices in prehistoric communities.
