In 1817, a coastal storm temporarily unearthed an ancient burial ground in the dune fields close to Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland. Since then there have only been tantalising glimpses in the shifting sands but now local archaeologists have relocated the site. Julian Richards joins the investigation to uncover why six people were buried in different ways and to shed light on a critical period in the history of Northumbria when the Anglo-Saxon King Oswald was establishing his kingdom.
