Vikings Mound is a Bronze Age barrow located in Norfolk, England. The mound survives as a substantial earthwork and represents a burial monument from the second millennium before the Common Era, when such tumuli served as prominent markers for elite or significant deceased individuals within their communities. The site's popular name references later historical periods rather than its actual date of construction, a nomenclature not uncommon amongst Norfolk's ancient monuments. As a scheduled ancient monument, it remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in East Anglia.
