An independent researcher believes he’s discovered a legendary ruler’s<\/a> burial site \u2014 a find that could be the first monumental Viking ship burial identified in England.<\/p>\n

Steve Dickinson, a British archaeologist, has identified a mound in Cumbria in northwest England<\/a> that he believes may have been a Viking ship burial, in which elite individuals were laid to rest in a boat or ship.<\/p>\n

The mound, he believes, may hold the lost grave of Ivar the Boneless, the Viking leader who died around 873 A.D.<\/p>\n

Dickinson calls the structure the King’s Mound \u2014 a translation of its Latin name Cuningishou \u2014 and its exact location has been kept confidential as his studies continue.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Dickinson said the Viking Icelandic saga literature indicates that Ivar was buried “in England, in a mound on a boundary.”<\/p>\n

He and his team pinpointed the mound’s location from medieval documents and identified 39 smaller mounds around it.<\/p>\n

Excavators have found “significant” artifacts<\/a>, Dickinson said, including ship rivets and roves \u2014 evidence of a ship \u2014 as well as lead weights used in trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All appear to be consistent with a Viking ship burial.<\/p>\n

While such ship burials have been found in Scandinavia, none in Britain have been definitively linked to a named Viking ruler, Dickinson said.<\/p>\n

Sutton Hoo<\/a>, the most famous monumental ship burial in England, dates to the pre-Viking Anglo-Saxon period, he noted.<\/p>\n

“This is rare, and, should my theory prove to be correct, it is the first such Viking ship burial to be found in Britain,” the researcher observed.<\/p>\n

Dickinson has also found fleet bases and post-holes from the Viking Age, remains he believes were part of a 210-foot-by-43-foot royal palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All pieces of evidence “give the strongest connections with him and his grave,” he said.<\/p>\n

Historians are still divided over how Ivar earned the nickname “the Boneless,” Dickinson said.<\/p>\n

“It is thought, from later historical records, that the epithet \u2018boneless\u2019 refers to some kind of genetic disorder,<\/a>” he noted.<\/p>\n

“Ivar also has some other nicknames, though: \u2018The Legless\u2019 and \u2018The Dragon.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Known for establishing a major settlement in modern-day Dublin<\/a>, Ivar was part of the kingdom of Laithlind, a realm whose true location has long been contested.<\/p>\n

“Though some scholars have suggested the kingdom of Laithlind<\/a> lies in northern and western Scotland or southwest Norway, its name means \u2018marsh\/lake-land,\u2019” Dickinson continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This description fits the part of Cumbria where I located the King\u2019s Mound.”<\/p>\n

Future fieldwork is planned for this summer, with opportunities for volunteers to take part.<\/p>\n

“We aim to conduct scans of the King’s Mound<\/a> using ground-penetrating radar and geophysics later this year to let us \u2018see\u2019 inside it,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We do not, at present, plan to excavate it. The sheer logistics and financing of this, and reasons of conservation and privacy, all lead to this.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
