Great Britain’s first fully intact Viking boat burial site has been discovered by archaeologists working in northwest Scotland.
The 5 metre-long grave contained the remains of a high status Viking, who was buried with an axe, a sword with a beautifully decorated hilt, a spear, shield boss and bronze ring-pin. The Viking had been buried in a ship, whose 200 or so metal rivets were also found by the team.
