	Sutton Hoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, is the site of an Anglo-Saxon ship burial, discovered in 1939 under a long burial mound called a barrow.
		The ship, dated circa 625 CE from gold coins included in the treasure, would have been 90 feet in length, powered by 38 oars.
		Along with it was found the Sutton Hoo "treasure", consisting of gold and silver personal ornaments, a horse harness, jewellery, armour (including a sword, shield and helmet), silver bowls, a silver dish made in the Byzantine Empire, and a bard's lyre.

		According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "The burial, one of the richest Germanic burials found in Europe, contained a ship fully equipped for the afterlife (but with no body) and threw light on the wealth and contacts of early Anglo-Saxon kings; its discovery, in 1939, was unusual because ship burial was rare in England" (Brtannica).
		The Sutton Hoo ship further displays both master craftsmanship and major technical innovations such as a fixed steering position and shorter and narrower planks for more flexibility.
		According to the Voyage to the other World, "Beowulf and Sutton Hoo are related in the rather simple way, that the description of Heorot in Beowulfmay fit some early Anglo-Saxon buildings for which evidence still survives elsewhere in England" (Creed 67).
