Bowl barrow in Lancaster Drive, Martlesham Heath is a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of a circular earthwork mound. The site is situated within the parish of Martlesham in Suffolk and represents a common form of elite burial practice during the Bronze Age period. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, though its precise dimensions and condition have been subject to later disturbance and modern development pressures in this area of eastern England. Such monuments typically contained inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods, though archaeological investigation at this specific location would be required to establish the full extent of surviving archaeology beneath the mound.
