Bell barrow and pond barrow on Bacombe Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises two distinct barrow forms: a bell barrow, characterised by a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, and a pond barrow, which features a depression rather than a raised mound. These monuments date to the Bronze Age and represent the ritual burial practices of prehistoric communities in the region. The earthworks survive as important archaeological evidence of ceremonial landscape use during this period, contributing to the broader understanding of Bronze Age mortuary traditions in southern England.
