{{Stars2|Category = Found in Britain|CategoryFile=VA_Hoards found in Britain.jpg|Typology = Viking Age burials|TypologyFile = burial_map.jpg|Limit=2}} This list of burials is currently a work in progress. More information will be added over time but it is hoped that even the meager information supplied here will be of some use. Any list of {{Viking burials is going to be open to discussion. Many of these burials were discovered in the 19th century, long before modern archaeological practices came into use.<br><br>The map is derived from Richards [RICHARDS 2004:p.191] Graham-Campbell [GRAHAM-CAMPBELL 1994:p.134, 153] and from a map displayed from a Jorvik exhibition in York 2012.<br><br>[[Viking burials found in Scotland]]<br>[[Viking burials found in the Isle of Man]]}}
