I recently found a complete fox cubs head buried under the soil next to my orange tree in a large pot. It was a real shock! Any thoughts on what and why it was buried? Thanks

Sometimes foxes eat cubs. Typical fox behaviour includes caching (burying) their surplus food and it is not improbable that they'd choose a soft patch of earth to dig, they won't care if it's in a pot.

Sounds like a person to me tbh, doesn't sound typical animal behaviour to bury something in a pot :/
How do you know that is was a fox cub's head?

Was it a bird ? Was it a plane ? No ! It's Supermoggie !
A male Fox coming into a territory will sometimes kill cubs fathered by a rival. Squirrels also cache food and love the soft soil in pots. A small cubs head would be ok for a grey to move,
Hmmm, fox knows.
There are 'Burying' Beetles' that can bury a whole animal remains but I too think an adult fox is most likely.
Hereabouts foxes bury golf balls, stupidly thinking that they're eggs.
