I can just imagine Jim wondering about what might lie under that knoll in the lower field...

OK, so far it;s just a theory - no grave yet. We wait tenterhook'd.

Actually we have three bronze age burnt mounds ;)

Actually, on reading the article, I recognised the archaeologist. Shall I just say that I am confident that the long rest of Ivar the Boneless is not likely to be disturbed in the near future.

Trust me in this, I have lived here far too long and have known far too many people.  :-X

Well, if ever they do find Ivar's grave, there won't be a skeleton in it...

Surely not those who have been buried under those 3 bronze age mounds?

There will just be some shelves, I guess.

As, IIRC, Jim has never set foot in IKEA, alas, he will miss your wordplay. You really know you've made it as a Viking leader when IKEA name a furniture range after you. Not quite as classy as a wireless communication system for IT equipment, but close.
