Two bowl barrows and a saucer barrow on Picquet Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Wiltshire. The site comprises three distinct burial mounds of differing morphological types, representing the variability of barrow construction during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows, the dominant form at this location, are characterised by their simple hemispherical mounds raised over cremation or inhumation burials, whilst the saucer barrow exhibits the shallower, wider profile typical of that variant. The monument group reflects the landscape's sustained use for elite burial practices during the second and early first millennia before the Common Era.
