Viking Burial Site Found in England
Monday September 13, 2004
The graves, discovered with a metal detector, yield a trove of artifacts.
A metal-detecting enthusiast wandering on a farm in northwestern England has unearthed a rare Viking graveyard, probably dating from the early 10th century, that was the final resting place of four warriors and two women.
Although the bones of the Vikings were destroyed by the highly acidic soil, the six graves yielded swords, spears, jewelry, spurs and a possible horse harness — the richest trove of artifacts ever found in England.
