History & significance

Bell barrow, bowl barrow and section of hollow way 600m NNW of Long Orchard is a Bronze Age funerary and landscape monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises two distinct barrow forms—a bell barrow distinguished by its characteristic ditched platform supporting a central mound, and a bowl barrow of simpler domed construction—together with an associated hollow way that reflects ancient routeways across the landscape. These monuments date to the Bronze Age, when barrows served as burial monuments for the dead, and the hollow way represents later use or parallel development of communication routes through the locality. The survival of both funerary monuments and the section of hollow way provides evidence of settlement patterns and land use across this period of prehistory.
