Bell barrow and disc barrow on Horsell Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Surrey. The site comprises two distinct barrow types situated on the common, representing different traditions of burial mound construction from the Bronze Age period. The bell barrow takes its name from its characteristic dome-shaped form, whilst the disc barrow is distinguished by its flatter profile with a defined circular ditch and bank. These monuments testify to the ritual practices and settlement patterns of Bronze Age communities in the Surrey Weald.
