The Giant's Grave, Penrith
The 10th century Giant's Grave, St. Andrew's Church, Penrith, Eden, Cumbria.
This legendary grave of Owen Caesarius (King of Cumbia 920-937AD) is a collection of two Anglian crosses and four hog-back Viking tombstones.
The grave was opened in the 17th century, revealing very long leg bones and a sword. Originally the crosses were much closer together and the hog-backs were just positioned between them during the 17th century.
