View looking up the hill to the barrows. Number 1 is to the left, number 2 to the right. When the field is full of rape seed, barrow 1 is barely visible from the road.

Deadmen’s Graves Long Barrows

A pair of long barrows whoes position and size seems to mirror the nearby Giant’s Hills on the other side of the A1028.
The best way to get here is to take the turning from the main road and drive to the tiny hamlet of Claxby. Take a left turn and follow the winding road until you reach a trackway leading up a hill, just before a farm house.
The grid reference I have given is for the barrow that stands half way along this track, the second barrow is some distance to the south-east across the field.
