Bowl Barrow northern edge of Westmere Strip is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Norfolk. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a burial mound characteristic of Bronze Age ritual practice in eastern England, positioned at the northern margin of Westmere Strip approximately 586 metres south-west of Westmere Farm. Bowl barrows of this type typically date from the second millennium BC and served as monuments for the interment of cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and practices of their period. The barrow's survival as an earthwork contributes to the archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in the Norfolk landscape.
