Sometime in the early 7th century, a Saxon king was laid carefully in a wooden ship, surrounded by a horde of his gold and armour, and buried beneath a mound at Sutton Hoo, near present-day Woodbridge, Suffolk. The Sutton Hoo ship burial was unearthed in 1939, exposing perhaps the most important Saxon archaeological site in England. Much of the Sutton Hoo treasure is now in the British Museum, but you can visit the burial site and learn about the finds in a marvellous museum on the site.
