Bell barrow on Moneybury Hill is an ancient burial mound located approximately 500 metres north-north-east of the Bridgewater Monument near Chesham in Buckinghamshire. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and takes its form from a characteristic bell-shaped mound with a surrounding ditch, a burial practice common in southern England during this period. The barrow remains visible as an earthwork despite later disturbance, representing a significant example of funerary archaeology from the second millennium BCE. Its proximity to other prehistoric monuments in the Chilterns landscape indicates a concentrated area of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity.
