Saucer barrow on Abington Down is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The site is characterised by a shallow, saucer-shaped mound, a form typical of barrows from this period, which served as a communal or individual burial structure. Such monuments are significant for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Wiltshire chalk downlands. The barrow's location in the context of other contemporary monuments in the region reflects the importance of this landscape during the third and second millennia before the present era.
