Bell barrow 500m north east of Beacon Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The barrow takes the form of a circular mound with a surrounding ditch, characteristic of the bell barrow type which emerged during the early Bronze Age period, approximately 2000 to 1500 BCE. Such monuments served as burial places for individuals of status within prehistoric communities, and their physical form reflects the considerable labour investment and social organisation required for their construction. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under list entry 1015995, reflecting its archaeological importance as evidence of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
