Saucer barrow on Spring Hill is a Neolithic burial mound located in Staffordshire, England. The monument takes its name from its characteristic saucer-shaped profile, a distinctive form among prehistoric barrows in the region. Dating to the Neolithic period, the barrow represents evidence of early funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Midlands during the later fourth and third millennia before Christ.
