Saucer barrow and adjacent small bowl barrow 630m north east of Swan Lodge is part of a Bronze Age burial cemetery distributed across Salthouse Heath in Norfolk. The two barrows represent typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, with the saucer barrow displaying the characteristic shallow, disc-like mound form whilst the bowl barrow exhibits the more conventional rounded burial mound.
