oldman visited on 26th Oct 2018 The view from the road is very misleading as you can't see the barrow because the height is less than the surrounding scrub.

Catrinm visited on 25th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4

Tathwell Long Barrow
Tathwell Long Barrow submitted by oldman : It looks as if the barrow runs parallel to the Horncastle Road but once you get close enough to see over the scrub which entirely hides the barrow from the road you find that it runs away from the road. This is the first view of the barrow without the high scrub obscuring it. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Judging by the EA lidar, I think at this site there is a circular feature alright, but ~200 m north there's an elongate feature that is more likely to be the long barrow recorded by OS; IMO

You can see it from the road just outside Louth. However hard to access when crops are growing and on private land.
