+ | The title was researched by Graham Christian [1], who found it to refer to Kit's Coty House, the name of ancient monument near the village of Addington, Kent, consisting of three standing stones topped with a table-like fourth stone. According to local lore it was supposed to have been the funeral monument of Catigern, the son of an early English King who was killed fighting the Saxons. It was thought that over the years "Catigern's House", built with coits or large stones (i.e. "Catigern's Coit House") devolved into "Cottey House" in local usage. While there have been many theories about the structure, including a place for Druidic human sacrifices, the consensus of modern scholarly opinion is that in was a tomb.\\ | ||
