Round Barrow from Mill Hill
Mill Hill's protected Bronze Age Round Barrow is north of Claxby St Andrew , in Lincolnshire , England .
It lies on a block of chalk about 10 meters long with a view of a quarry where the chalk was extracted and burned. During the chalk mining on the hill in the early 20th century, a crouched skeleton and a bell jar were discovered. The mug is said to have rolled down the hill and damaged in the process. It was established in 1600 BC. Dated. It is unknown whether the quarry on the hill was not used for archaeological reasons or whether the workers were superstitious. The skeleton was later buried in Claxby cemetery.
The remaining hill has a diameter of about 15.0 m, stands a little over a meter high and lies on a north-west-south-east running range of hills with a view of the valley of Burlands Beck. The spur is also the location of the Deadmen's Graves , two Neolithic long hills that are about 500 meters northwest. This part of Lincolnshire is an area that does not seem to have changed much over long periods of time. It could be that the Mill Hill burial mounds and the Deadmen's Graves were used by the deceased of the same group.
