Bell barrow and two bowl barrows 180m south west of Stagbury Hill, Furzley Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three distinct burial mounds located on Furzley Common in Wiltshire. The site consists of one bell barrow, distinguished by its characteristic ditch and outer bank, accompanied by two bowl barrows of more modest form, all dating to the Bronze Age period when such earthen mounds served as the primary burial structures for the region's elite and community members. The monument's preservation within the common landscape has maintained its archaeological integrity, permitting study of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in this part of central southern England. The site remains legally protected under national heritage designation and contributes significantly to understanding the density and distribution of funerary monuments across the Wiltshire chalk downlands.
