Bowl barrow and pill box 450m north west of Sheep Drift Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two distinct structures of different periods located in Suffolk. The bowl barrow represents a Bronze Age burial mound, characteristic of funerary monuments constructed during the second millennium before the present era. The pill box is a twentieth-century defensive structure, likely erected during the Second World War as part of Britain's coastal and inland fortification programme. The co-location of these monuments, separated by more than three thousand years of history, illustrates the layered archaeological record of the Suffolk landscape.
