The Hills of the Slain: Spellow Hills Long Barrow, near Langton-by-Partney, aerial 2021

Spellow Hills Long Barrow, aka the Hills of the Slain: aerial 2021

See also TF4072 : Spellow Hills, near Langton-by-Partney: aerial 2017 and TF4072 : Spellow Hills long barrow, looking towards Langton: aerial 2017. Badly mutilated by antiquarian investigations of the nineteenth century, and was thus previously mistaken for a group of round barrows. The name 'Spellow Hills' is derived from the Old English 'spel' and 'hlaw' or 'haugr' which means 'assembly mound'. The earliest recorded instance of the name is in the early twelfth century. The barrow lies just below the crest of a gentle rise 200m to the west of the A16 which marks the boundary with Dalby parish. The land rises gently to a point 1.2km north where the wapentakes of Hill, Calcewath and Candleshoe and the parishes of Langton, Driby, Ulceby and Dalby meet TF 406 733. From here there is an extensive view in all directions. It seems highly likely that this was a meeting place for the people from all three wapentakes rather than that of a single unit. See Link
