Saucer barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound situated approximately 350 metres east of Middleton Hall in Westmorland. The monument takes its name from its distinctive shallow, saucer-shaped form, which is characteristic of certain Bronze Age barrow types found in northern England. Like other barrows of its period, it would have served as a funerary monument, likely covering an inhumation or cremation burial beneath its earthen mound. The site represents an important element of the Bronze Age ceremonial landscape of the region and remains of archaeological interest as a relatively well-preserved example of this monument class.
