Howe's Hill is a composite prehistoric funerary monument situated approximately 500 metres west-southwest of Wood Farm in Norfolk, comprising an oval barrow with a superimposed bowl barrow. The site demonstrates a pattern of successive burial activity, with the underlying oval barrow representing an earlier phase of monument construction, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, subsequently reused or augmented by the addition of a bowl barrow, a form characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice. The physical stratigraphic relationship between the two barrows provides evidence of continuity in funerary use at this location across multiple prehistoric periods. The monument remains a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological significance for understanding burial practices and landscape use in prehistoric Norfolk.
