Grim's Mound, Grimblethorpe, Lincs The monument includes the earthwork remains of a bowl barrow known as Grim's
Mound located 110m above sea level in a commanding position on the summit of a
spur between the River Bain and one of its tributaries. It is a grassy mound
some 19m in diameter and 2.6m high, situated adjacent to a trackway running
between the sites of the medieval villages of Biscathorpe and Calcethorpe.
This trackway, which is today known as the Viking Way, overlies the eastern
perimeter of the monument and it bends slightly at this point.
Chance finds of worked flint have been recovered from the plough soil around
the monument which itself is largely undisturbed. Although the encircling
ditch, from which material for the mound was quarried, is not visible, it is
thought to survive buried beneath the present ground surface. (source ancientmonuments.co.uk)
