AN ANCIENT Viking burial stone kept in a south Wirral church has become the centre of an archaeological dispute.
The stone at the Church of St Mary and St Helen, in Neston town centre, which has been broken over time prior to its discovery, clearly depicts a man and a woman with an angel flying overhead.
Archaeologist and TV presenter Mark Olly said the stone is “as unique as the death mask of Tutankhamun”, but has disputed the interpretation placed on it by other Viking experts.

I like the Valkyrie theory. But I have no idea really - just like the "experts" it seems.
