Two bowl barrows on Massingham Common is a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments located approximately 900 and 930 metres south-west of Field Barn in Norfolk. Bowl barrows of this type, characterised by their simple mounded earthwork form, were typically constructed during the Early to Middle Bronze Age as funerary structures for prominent community members. The barrows represent an important survival of prehistoric funerary practice in Norfolk and contribute to understanding Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns across the county. Both monuments remain substantially visible as earthwork features on Massingham Common and are recorded as scheduled ancient monuments under the national heritage designation system.
