Port an Eilean Mhòir ship burial, Viking ship burial in Ardnamurchan, Scotland.
The archaeological site contains remains of a wooden vessel measuring 5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, along with numerous metal rivets and artifacts.
The burial site, discovered in 2011 by the Ardnamurchan Transitions Project, represents the first intact Viking boat burial found on mainland Britain.
The burial contained military equipment, domestic items, and personal belongings, reflecting Norse traditions of interring high-status individuals with their possessions.
Archaeological findings from the site undergo preservation processes before potential display in regional museums through treasure trove claims.
Isotopic analysis of teeth remains revealed changes in the buried individual's diet from terrestrial to marine food sources after age fifteen.
