Copt Hill is an ancient burial mound, older than Stonehenge, situated between Houghton-le-Spring, Eppleton and Hetton-le-Hole. The Friends of Copt Hill exist to preserve the monument for the wider community and to ensure that everyone has access to it and its environment, to investigate any history, to conserve artefacts and to improve the site for the enjoyment of all.
