Gallow Hill bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Salthouse Heath in Norfolk, part of a larger barrow cemetery comprising nine burial mounds of the same period. The site consists of a principal bowl barrow at Gallow Hill accompanied by a group of eight further bowl barrows distributed across and around the heath, representing a significant concentration of early Bronze Age burial activity in the region. These monuments are characterized by their simple bowl-shaped mounds, typical of burial practices during the early to middle Bronze Age. The barrow cemetery reflects the territorial organisation and funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in East Anglia and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding settlement patterns and social structures of the period.
