Bowl Barrow at Mill Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Norfolk, England. The monument takes the form of a bowl-shaped earthwork typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, in which a mound of earth was raised over a central burial or burials. Such barrows represent a significant form of elite commemoration during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 800 BC, and their distribution across the Norfolk landscape reflects patterns of settlement and social organization in prehistoric Britain. The site remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and land use in East Anglia.
