Bell barrow north-west of Brooms Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Sussex, England. The site consists of a prominent mound surrounded by a ditch, characteristic of the bell barrow form which emerged during the Early Bronze Age, approximately 2000 to 1500 BCE. Bell barrows of this type typically contained high-status burials and served as focal points for ritual activity within their contemporary landscapes. The monument's survival to the present day, despite agricultural use of the surrounding land, makes it a significant archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and social organisation in southern England.
