Bowl barrow at Eagletower Plantation is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Norfolk, England. The site consists of a circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common burial form across prehistoric Britain dating to the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple domed or rounded mound structure, created over grave pits or cremation deposits, and often served as communal or individual burial sites for members of Bronze Age communities. The Eagletower Plantation example contributes to the archaeological record of Norfolk's prehistoric settlement and mortuary practices, though like many such earthworks, it has been subject to ploughing and other land management that has affected its preservation over the centuries.
