DRL seems to have looked at the pictures, but not the video. In the video
she speaks of the mould being above ground. Metal flows wouldn't work - and
how would the metal in the pit below ground have been heated?

 

The pit in the ground does look like an inverted bell shape (hence the
description bell pit) - but that's not how bells were cast, as far as we
know

 

Hence my doubts
