Title: Anglo-Saxon burial mounds
First published: 2008
Description: "The magnificent royal burial at Sutton Hoo, with the king laid out in his ship surrounded by treasures and weapons, was far from unique. It was only the most splendid barrow-burial so far discovered of the same period." "This is the first book-length treatment of Anglo-Saxon Barrows in English. It brings together some of the evidence from Sutton Hoo and elsewhere in England for these magnificent burials and sets them in their historical, religious and social context."--BOOK JACKET.
