Anglo-Saxon cemeteries have been found in England, Wales and Scotland.
The burial sites date primarily from the fifth century to the seventh century AD, before the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England.
Later Anglo-Saxon period cemeteries have been found with graves dating from the 9th to the 11th century.
Inhumation burials before the late seventh century when pagan funerary rituals were the norm, often consisted of rectangular graves, with coffins or were lined with stones.
Grave goods were often placed with the body, and included jewellery, especially Anglo-Saxon brooches, weapons, tools, and household items.
