A bell barrow and two bowl barrows east of The Avenue on Countess Farm is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a linear round barrow cemetery in Wiltshire. The site comprises three distinct barrow types characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice, with the bell barrow distinguished by its flattened summit and encircling ditch, whilst the bowl barrows represent the more common burial mound form of the period. These monuments are integral to the wider ceremonial landscape of the Stonehenge environs and reflect the ritual and social complexity of early Bronze Age Wessex societies. The barrows are now scheduled as an ancient monument under national protection.
