Three bell barrows 300m north-east of New Barn, Earl's Farm Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. Bell barrows are a distinctive type of burial mound characteristic of the Bronze Age, typically comprising a central grave surrounded by a ditch with an external bank. The three examples at this location represent the practice of communal or successive burial undertaken during the second millennium before the present era. Such barrow groupings are common features of the Wiltshire downland and provide important evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in southern Britain.
