Suet Hills round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial site located in Cambridgeshire, comprising a group of round barrows that represent an important concentration of funerary monuments from the second millennium BC. The barrows form part of the dispersed burial landscape characteristic of Bronze Age communities in the East Anglian region, with multiple earthwork mounds arranged across the site. These monuments reflect the ritual and social practices of Bronze Age societies, particularly their emphasis on monumental burial practices and the commemoration of the dead through conspicuous earthwork construction. The site remains significant as physical evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary traditions in the East Midlands and East Anglia during the Bronze Age period.
