What period of time?

There is a map on https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=52.2042&lon=-2.1810&layers=6&b=1 which has Bell Lane running off Northfield End, but no pit that I can see.

(type "Northfield End" in the Search OS six-inch 1888-1913 names: box)

There is an 1880 Town plan that shows Bell Lane near Northfield End at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/476180/183016/13/101272
You may have to change the zoom level.

Covering 8/9th century to 18/19th, Cesspits and rubbish pits are mentioned here . . . . .

Page 2 of this report on a historical property at 46 Northfield End, Henley and describes it as on the corner with Northfield End and Bell Pit Lane  which is a narrow lane that winds it's way to Marlow Road http://www.henley-on-thamesarchaeologicalandhistoricalgroup.org.uk/buildings/46%20Northfield%20End.pdf

It appears to be in this area on a close up of a map that Phillip and Stan have posted https://maps.nls.uk/view/102353000#zoom=7&lat=4411&lon=2725&layers=BT
