Bell barrow 650m east of the Pennings, Earl's Farm Down is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The site consists of a distinctive bell-shaped barrow, a form characteristic of the Bronze Age period, comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, which would have originally contained an inhumation burial.
