The Knoll is a bell barrow located approximately 300 metres west of Manor Farm in Wiltshire, England. Bell barrows are Bronze Age burial monuments characterised by a central mound surrounded by a ditch, and this example represents a significant funerary structure from the second millennium BCE. The monument remains substantially preserved as an earthwork, retaining its distinctive morphological features despite the passage of millennia. As a scheduled ancient monument, The Knoll contributes to the important concentration of prehistoric burial sites found across the Wiltshire chalk downlands, an area of exceptional archaeological importance.
