The Mount bell barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Oxfordshire, situated approximately 110 metres south-west of Mount Farm. Bell barrows of this type are characteristic burial mounds of the Bronze Age period, typically comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch, and often with an outer bank, though the precise form of this example reflects the specific landscape and constructional practices of its time. The monument represents evidence of ritual funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Bronze Age landscape of the Thames Valley region. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological site for understanding prehistoric burial customs and the Bronze Age occupation of Oxfordshire.
