An independent researcher believes he’s discovered a legendary ruler’s burial site — a find that could be the first monumental Viking ship burial identified in England. Steve Dickinson, a British archaeologist, has identified a mound in Cumbria in northwest England that he believes may have been a Viking ship burial , in which elite individuals were laid to rest in a boat or ship. The mound, he believes, may hold the lost grave of Ivar the Boneless, the Viking leader who died around 873 A.D.
