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. The first section comprises the physical construction and symbolic meaning of these monuments. The second offers a comprehensive listing of known Anglo-Saxon barrows with notes on their contents and the circumstances of their discovery. The five appendices deal with literary and place-name evidence.
