Bell barrow and moot 600m SSE of Finger Post Plantation is a Bronze Age burial monument located within the Great Bircham barrow group in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a bell barrow, a distinctive round barrow type characterized by a central mound surrounded by a ditch and external bank, alongside an associated moot or earthwork feature. The bell barrow form indicates a date within the Bronze Age, likely the earlier phases of the period when such monuments were constructed for elite burials.
