The transition from Pagan polity to Christian kingdom in England is marked by the appearance of rich tombs, of which the best known are those at Sutton Hoo (Carver 2005). Recent discoveries which have added to the corpus are notable for their wealthy women (at Redcar and Ely). The latest aristocratic burial ground to be investigated, described here, lies in north-east England. It was superimposed on a prehistoric monument and contained a high ranking woman on a bed surrounded by 109 graves, arranged two by two.
