{{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.
