Cambridge students found a Viking-Saxon era burial pit with 10+ bodies, some decapitated, at Wandlebury Park.
Cambridge University students uncovered a ninth-century burial pit at Wandlebury Country Park containing at least 10 individuals, including four complete skeletons and multiple skulls, some showing signs of decapitation and dismemberment.
The remains, believed to date from the Viking-Saxon conflict era, were found in positions suggesting they were tied, possibly victims of execution or battle aftermath.
One individual was exceptionally tall, with a skull showing evidence of trepanation.
The site may have been a sacred or meeting place linked to ritual or punitive practices.
The discovery, supported by Historic England and set to be featured on BBC Two’s Digging for Britain, offers rare insight into violent events of early medieval Britain.
