How Hill is a bowl barrow situated east of Heronfield Belt in Suffolk, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a common form of burial mound constructed during the second millennium BCE. Bowl barrows of this type typically consist of a central burial chamber covered by an earthen mound, and served as repositories for cremated or inhumed human remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. The survival of How Hill as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices in East Anglia.
