Bowl barrow and associated mound in Old Fen is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 450 metres south east of Mill House in Norfolk. The site comprises a bowl barrow, the characteristic burial mound type of the Bronze Age, together with an associated mound whose relationship to the primary barrow suggests a complex of ritual or commemorative significance. Bowl barrows of this period typically contained inhumation or cremation burials and served as focal points for community ritual activity. The monument's survival in the Norfolk landscape, despite agricultural activity in the surrounding fenland, indicates its archaeological importance for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practices in East Anglia.
