Viking Age burials found in Britain

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.

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.
