{{Stars2|Category = Found in Britain|CategoryFile=mp_Hoards 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]]<br> ===Status===The reliability of pagan graves varies. The 'Status' rating gives an indication of the current thinking relating to the finds reliability.<br> <br>{{Accepted}} (A)<br>There is a good contemporary archaeological record of the find. Including a diagram of the grave and finds, etc. <br>{{Possible}} (P)<br>The contemporary archaeological record of the find is not as good but the grave goods would tend to indicate a pagan grave. The grave may be located in a mound or Church yard.<br>{{Discredited}} (D)<br>The argument in favour of this being a Viking grave has now been discredited although it has previously been published as such in the past. These are most probably just stray finds.<br><br>
