What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bell barrow known as the Monarch of the Plain on the western edge of Fargo Plantation and south of The Cursus: part of The Cursus round barrow cemetery 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, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, is a type of round barrow associated with burial and ceremonial practices. Its inclusion in the The Cursus round barrow cemetery highlights its significance in a broader ritual landscape linked to Neolithic and Bronze Age activity in the region.
