Bowl barrow at Slave's Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Norfolk, England. The structure consists of a characteristic circular mound of earth and stone, typical of bowl barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period, which would date the monument to approximately 2000–700 BC. Such barrows served as burial sites for individuals of status within prehistoric communities and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods. The Norfolk landscape contains numerous examples of these Bronze Age monuments, which form an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and burial practices in East Anglia.
