The Bowl Hole early medieval graveyard was first revealed by a violent storm in the 19th century. It is hidden within the sand dunes a few hundred metres south of Bamburgh Castle in modern day Northumberland. Dozens of individuals were uncovered during archaeological excavations between 1998 to 2007. These remains have been analysed to tell us about these people and their lives.
