Bully Hill
The 1979 is under protection Bully Hill (not to be confused with the Bully Hills of Tathwell) is a Stone Age nichtmegalithischer long hill ( english Long Barrow ) north of Bully Hill Farm, northeast of the hamlet Tealby, at Market Rasen in North East Lincolnshire in England . Long hills were built as earth or dry stone hills, mostly with flanking ditches. They functioned as grave monuments during the early and middle Neolithic period (3400-2400 BC).
Bully Hill is now a well-preserved tree-lined hill on the edge of a field that is about three meters high and about 25.0 meters in diameter. The hill is located right next to the road B1225, as the old route is known "High Street". It runs along the east side of the Lincolnshire Wolds and is connected with many round and long hills. Just a little west of Bully Hill is the valley, the upper reaches of the Rase River. The connection with water as well as the proximity to the high street could have been an important consideration in building the hill. The remains of a cult site were discovered just 300 meters northwest of a long hill .
The long hill, which is clearly visible from the air, is oriented east-west. It is surrounded by an infilled trench about 56 meters long and 30 meters wide. It is believed that this shape represents the simpler type of long hill in Lincolnshire.
Nearby is the Long Hill of Tathwell .
