Copt Hill, Anglo-Saxon inhumation

The burial mound at Copt Hill contained, in addition to prehistoric burials, an unburnt body on the summit of the mound laid east-west on its back at full length with the head to the west. It occurred in a cist constructed of stones set on edge, measuring 6 feet in length and 2 feet 3 inches in width, 4.5 feet above the ground level and 3 feet below the surface of the barrow. No implements were found with this interment which was judged to be of Anglo-Saxon and possibly Christian origin.
