Five bowl barrows 490m and 500m north west of Bussock Barn is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises five distinct bowl barrows, the most basic form of burial mound, which are characteristic of funerary practices dating to the period between approximately 3500 and 1500 BCE. These earthwork monuments represent evidence of prehistoric ritual and burial custom in East Anglia, though detailed archaeological investigation and finds records specific to this particular group remain limited in the readily available scholarly literature. The barrows' survival as landscape features demonstrates the persistence of these Bronze Age funerary structures in the Suffolk countryside.
