Bowl barrow on north west edge of Gibson's Slip is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located near Gate Lodge in Suffolk. The barrow survives as an earthen mound of characteristic bowl form, a type of burial structure commonly constructed during the Bronze Age in East Anglia, though examples are known from the Neolithic period onwards. Such monuments typically contained inhumation burials, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, and served as territorial or commemorative markers within the Bronze Age landscape. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the monument's continued archaeological value for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and burial practices in Suffolk.
