Bell barrow 250m NNE of the sports ground is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located north-west of Idmiston Down in Wiltshire. The barrow forms part of a significant group of round barrows in this landscape, which represents a concentrated area of prehistoric burial activity. As a bell barrow, it exhibits the characteristic form of this burial type, comprising a mound set within a ditch with an outer bank, a structure typical of the Early Bronze Age period. The monument contributes to the archaeological understanding of burial practices and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire chalk downlands during the early second millennium before Christ.
