Bell barrow 450m south east of Greenland Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a linear cemetery of round barrows positioned west of the Lesser Cursus in Wiltshire. The monument exhibits the characteristic bell barrow form, comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, a type that typically dates to the Early Bronze Age. Its location within a formal linear arrangement of barrows indicates the site's significance as a funerary landscape, reflecting patterns of ritual burial and territorial organisation during the third and second millennia before the present. The barrow is scheduled as an ancient monument and remains an important archaeological witness to prehistoric burial practice in the Salisbury Plain region.
