Howe's Hill is a composite Bronze Age barrow monument located near Wood Farm in Norfolk, comprising an oval barrow with a superimposed bowl barrow. The site demonstrates the practice of constructing multiple burial mounds at the same location across different phases of the Bronze Age, reflecting evolving burial customs and the continued ritual significance of particular landscape features. The oval barrow represents an earlier constructional phase, whilst the bowl barrow was subsequently erected upon it, suggesting the site remained a focus for ceremonial activity over an extended period. Such overlaid barrow complexes are valuable archaeological records of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in Norfolk.
