How Hill is a bowl barrow situated east of Heronfield Belt in Suffolk, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a funerary structure typical of this period, when such earthen mounds were constructed as burial monuments across the English landscape. The barrow survives as a rounded earthwork, a characteristic form of Bronze Age funerary architecture, though like many such monuments, it has been subject to the effects of ploughing and land management over successive centuries. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practice and settlement patterns in East Anglia.
