Description

A Viking-Age ship burial from the late ninth century / early tenth century was excavated beneath this ship setting now marking out the site in Balladoole on the Isle of Man. It contained a rich burial of a high-status man and woman with a horse and grave goods. It was built directly above Christian graves of a similar date, and may represent an expression of the Norse settlers' control of a sacred landscape.
