Sutton Hoo, Anglo-Saxon burial ground in Suffolk, England
The Sutton Hoo archaeological site contains eighteen burial mounds dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries along the River Deben estuary.
In 1939, archaeologist Basil Brown discovered an undisturbed ship burial containing numerous Anglo-Saxon artifacts that revolutionized understanding of early medieval Britain.
The excavated ceremonial helmet, decorated sword, and intricate metalwork demonstrate the sophisticated craftsmanship and artistic capabilities of Anglo-Saxon civilization.
The National Trust manages the site, offering guided tours, exhibition spaces, and interactive displays that explain the archaeological findings and Anglo-Saxon history.
The ninety-foot wooden ship imprint discovered beneath the largest burial mound contained over 4,000 metal rivets arranged in their original positions.
