High Banks is a Bronze Age barrow located in Norfolk, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound that represents a funerary structure characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such burial mounds were constructed across much of lowland Britain. The site's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age ceremonial landscapes in the Norfolk landscape, contributing to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and burial practices in eastern England.
