Earthwork on Broome Heath is a Neolithic flint-working site located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises scattered flint debris and associated earthworks that represent evidence of prehistoric flint extraction and tool manufacture, indicating sustained activity during the Neolithic period. The site's archaeological significance lies in its demonstration of early industrial-scale flint working in East Anglia, revealing patterns of resource exploitation and craft specialisation in prehistoric communities. The earthwork features have been substantially degraded by modern agricultural activity, though the surviving deposits remain of importance for understanding Neolithic settlement and economic practices in Norfolk.
