Three bell barrows and a pillow mound 400m south-west of Knap Cottage is a Bronze Age and medieval monument complex located in Wiltshire. The three bell barrows represent funerary structures of the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as burial mounds for individuals of status within prehistoric communities. The pillow mound, a distinctive linear earthwork with a raised central ridge, dates to the medieval period and represents a constructed warren for rabbit management, reflecting the medieval value placed on rabbit farming as a food resource. Together, the monuments demonstrate the long continuity of land use and ritual significance at this location across more than two millennia of English history.
