Sutton Hoo , archaeological site near Woodbridge, East Suffolk, E England, containing 11 barrows. Excavations here in 1938-39 revealed remains of a Saxon ship (c.660), which with its gold and silver treasures is now in the British Museum. The absence of a body and of personal objects in the ship has led archaeologists to conclude that the site was a cenotaph rather than a grave.
