THE first ever Viking burial site in England has been found in the North-west, according to archaelogogists.
The site is said to be among the most significant discoveries made in the UK in the past 100 years.
The burial site, containing the bodies of four men and two women, was found outside the village of Cumwhitton, near Carlisle by local metal enthusiast Peter Adams.
The site is believed to date back to the 10th Century.
