Saucer barrow 220m south of the Club House on Petersfield Heath Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the Petersfield Heath Group of barrows in Hampshire. The saucer barrow is characterised by its distinctive shallow, saucer-shaped mound with a slight central depression, a form typical of Bronze Age burial monuments in southern England. Such monuments served as burial places for prominent members of prehistoric communities and often contained cremated remains or inhumations accompanied by grave goods. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes significantly to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practice in the region.
