Bell barrow 650m east of the Pennings, Earl's Farm Down is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Earl's Farm Down in Wiltshire. The site consists of a bell-shaped barrow, a distinctive form of burial mound characteristic of the later Bronze Age period, featuring a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank. Such monuments represent important funerary structures of the Bronze Age communities that inhabited the Wessex downlands, and this example contributes to the substantial archaeological landscape of barrows found across Earl's Farm Down. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains a designated heritage monument reflecting the mortuary practices of Bronze Age society in southern England.
