Two bowl barrows in Taylors Wood, 260m north east of Swan Lodge is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of a barrow cemetery distributed across Salthouse Heath in Norfolk. The site comprises two circular earthwork mounds typical of the bowl barrow form, which served as communal or individual burial structures during the Bronze Age period. These monuments are situated within a wider landscape of funerary activity, where multiple barrows of varying sizes were constructed across the heathland, indicating sustained ritual and burial practice over an extended period.
