A bell barrow and a saucer barrow 315m ESE of the unfinished hillfort on Ladle Hill is a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments situated in Hampshire. The bell barrow, distinguished by its raised central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, and the saucer barrow, characterised by its shallow platform form, represent funerary structures dating to the Bronze Age period. These monuments lie within the broader landscape of Ladle Hill, which also contains the incomplete Iron Age hillfort, indicating sustained use of this elevated terrain for both ritual and defensive purposes across multiple prehistoric periods. The barrows form part of an important archaeological complex that demonstrates the long-term significance of the Ladle Hill location in Hampshire's prehistoric settlement and burial landscape.
