Bell barrow, bowl barrow and section of hollow way 600m NNW of Long Orchard is a Bronze Age funerary and routeway monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises two distinct barrow forms typical of Bronze Age burial practice: a bell barrow, characterised by a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, and a bowl barrow, the simpler mounded form common throughout the period. The hollow way represents a sunken trackway, likely of considerable antiquity, which survives as an archaeological feature at the same location. Together these elements form a palimpsest of Bronze Age ritual activity and landscape use, demonstrating the sustained importance of this area for burial and communication routes during the second millennium BC.
