Archaeologists uncover eerie Anglo-Saxon 'sand bodies' at nuclear power station site

Excavators recently unearthed an Anglo-Saxon "princely" grave — containing two men, a horse and grave goods — during the construction of a nuclear power station in England.

The discovery was made at the Sizewell C site near Theberton, Suffolk. It dates back to the 7th century A.D.

In a release, officials described the find as a "high-status grave containing two individuals buried alongside a fully harnessed horse, weapons and personal items."
