The Stone ships (Skeppssättning)(Nordic bronze age - Viking age)
Ship settings
The Stone ship or ship setting was an early burial custom, characteristically Scandinavian but also found in Northern Germany and the Baltic states. The grave or cremation burial is surrounded by tightly or loosely fit slabs or stones in the outline of a ship. They are often found in grave fields, but are sometimes far from any other archaeological remains. Excavations have shown that they are usually from the Nordic Bronze Age or from the Germanic Iron Age, the Vendel Age and the Viking Age.
The largest known stone ship is the mostly destroyed Jelling stone ship in Denmark, which was at least 170 metres long.

News
Four boat burials and several other burials from the period immediately before the Viking Age were found after a chance metal detector find in Bitterstad, Norway. Excavations on the site showed that the boats were c. 8m long with room for 12 rowers. One grave contained swords and military gear, while another was a woman's grave with a large and expensive brooch, and colourful beads.
