Have ROYAL skeletons been found in Suffolk? Bodies buried with vast amounts
of jewellery 1400 years ago may be linked to King Anna of East Anglia


⁍ A total of 21 skeletons were found on land at Burwell Road in Exning
⁍ They were found alongside a spear, glass bowl and gold plated brooches
⁍ The land is being excavated before developers build 120 homes on the site
⁍ One of the bodies was buried just a foot (0.3 metres) beneath the ground
⁍ The finds date back to 650AD around the time of King Anna of East Anglia
⁍ Experts believe the bodies may belong to people of wealth and high status

You always find the most interesting stories. And , of course, tie it in to a great Rolling Stones song, and I have to look!
 
Interesting article. It is really good that they stopped the excavation and allowed the archaeologists onto the site. History is very interesting.
