Howe Hill bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Cambridgeshire. The monument comprises a circular earthwork of modest dimensions, consistent with the bowl barrow form prevalent in prehistoric Britain during the third and second millennia BCE. As a scheduled monument protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, it represents the funerary practices and landscape use of early prehistoric communities in the East Anglian region. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite the intensive agricultural development of the Cambridgeshire landscape, makes it a significant archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric settlement and burial patterns.
