Bowl barrow and pill box 430m WSW of Burnham Westgate Hall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two distinct defensive and commemorative structures located in Norfolk. The bowl barrow represents Bronze Age funerary practice, a characteristic burial mound of the second millennium BC typical of Norfolk's archaeological landscape. The pill box is a twentieth-century defensive installation, likely constructed during the Second World War as part of Britain's anti-invasion preparations. The monument thus documents two separate periods of military or ceremonial significance spanning over three thousand years.
