This "Viking Cemetery" was covered by sand for a several hundred years just north of Aalborg on the Jutland peninsula.   The discovery of stones here were quarried and broken up to be used for road building.  Finally the discovery of some Viking Age remnants started a concerted effort to excavate and document what was here. It now is accompanied by a museum  established in that shows the life and artifacts of the time establish in 1992. 

There was a village just outside the cemetery but cremations and ceremonies were held here for over about a hundred years from 1000 – 1050 AD while some may go back to the 5th century.  It may have included as many as 700 graves.
