Two saucer barrows 775m south east of Rodmead Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. Saucer barrows are characterised by their distinctive shallow, saucer-shaped mounds with minimal elevation, typically surrounded by a slight ditch, and represent a particular tradition of funerary monument construction in prehistoric Britain. These examples form part of the wider distribution of barrow cemeteries across Wiltshire, a county rich in such monumental remains dating from the third and second millennia before the present. The monument survives as an archaeological site of importance for understanding early Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in southern England.
