What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bell barrow 660m south east of Beckhampton Buildings, forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Horton Down 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. Its location within a round barrow cemetery on Horton Down highlights its significance as part of a wider funerary landscape associated with early Bronze Age ritual and social practices in southern England.
