panoramic views of Winchester.

St Giles Church(Cemetery)
The first written record of St. Giles Hill (St Giles Church) is as late as the
12th century but there is earlier evidence of the use of the Hill. Archaeological
finds include artifacts from early Palaeolithic tools to later banks and ditches,
dwelling sites, tumuli and grave goods. The earliest burial chambers known on
the hill are the Bronze Age bowl and round barrows on Magdalen Down. Roman
and Saxon remains and artifacts have been found on and near the Hill. The
churchyard and cemetery of St Giles is known to hold significant remains not
yet investigated.
