What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bell barrow forming part of a round barrow cemetery 400m north-east of West Kennett Farm on Overton Hill as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bell barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (circa 2000–1500 BCE), is a type of burial mound typically containing cremated remains. This example is part of a larger round barrow cemetery on Overton Hill, which is significant for its contribution to understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and landscape use in the Avebury area.
