There are nine large Bronze Age burial mounds on Salthouse Heath. These, and many smaller mounds, including a cluster of over thirty, make it the largest Bronze Age cemetery in Norfolk. In the Middle Ages, grazing animals continued to keep the area open and Salthouse Heath was an integral part of the local economy: gorse provided hot-burning fuelwood and farmers used gorse bushes as bases for haystacks and, in some parts, even as agricultural implements - dragged behind the horse, a gorse bush produces a fine seedbed. Turf or ‘flag’ cutting was also known to have been carried out at Salthouse.
