Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows and a saucer barrow 360m south of the Club House on Petersfield Heath Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument group located in Hampshire. The three barrows represent typical burial structures of the second millennium BCE, with the bowl barrows forming the characteristic dome-shaped earthen mounds whilst the saucer barrow displays the flatter, more subtly defined morphology associated with later Bronze Age burial practice. These monuments form part of the broader Petersfield Heath Group, which reflects the intensive use of this heathland location for burial and ceremonial purposes during prehistory. The site survives as an upstanding earthwork testament to Bronze Age mortuary practices and the evolving forms of monumental barrow construction across the period.
