A group of four bowl barrows is located approximately 600 metres south west of Buildings Farm in Norfolk. Bowl barrows are among the most common form of burial mound in prehistoric Britain, typically dating to the Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 700 BC, though some may be of Neolithic origin. These earthwork monuments would originally have comprised substantial mounds of earth and stone constructed over one or more burials, though their present condition reflects considerable degradation over millennia. The survival of four such barrows in proximity suggests this location held significance as a burial ground during the later prehistoric period.
