Bell barrow 800m east of New Barn, Earl's Farm Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The barrow exhibits the characteristic form of a bell barrow, comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, a morphological type that typically dates to the Early Bronze Age, roughly 2000–1500 BCE. Such monuments served as burial places for individuals of elevated status within Bronze Age communities, and their spatial distribution across the downland reflects patterns of territorial organisation and settlement during this period. The site remains a significant archaeological record of Wiltshire's prehistoric landscape and mortuary practices.
