Bowl Barrow in Norfolk

From Pastscape:
"A bowl barrow 23.0m N-S by 16.0m transversely and 2.0m in height.
It is covered by bracken and gorse and the E segment has been
destroyed by quarrying. The top and SW side have been dug into.

A BA Food Vessel and a RB pot found in this barrow are in the BM.
A polished axe in the Norwich Castle Museum is said to have come from
the barrow in 1855."
