Bell barrow 400m south of Greenland Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a linear cemetery of round barrows situated west of the Lesser Cursus in Wiltshire. The barrow displays the characteristic bell barrow form, consisting of a mound surrounded by a ditch with an external bank, a morphological type typical of the Early Bronze Age period. Its placement within a structured linear arrangement of barrows reflects the organised funerary practice and territorial significance of Bronze Age communities in the Stonehenge landscape. The monument remains a key element in understanding the distribution and chronology of burial practices across the Cursus complex and its surrounding ritual landscape.
