Bell barrow 670m east of Baylea Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on Highwood Heath in Dorset. It forms part of a small group of barrows in this location, which reflects the use of the area as a burial ground during the second millennium BC. The monument comprises a circular mound typical of the bell barrow form, characterised by a central burial surrounded by a ditch and outer bank. Such barrows are among the most prominent surviving archaeological features of the Bronze Age landscape and provide important evidence for burial practices and social organisation of this period.
