The cemetery yielded fifteen ship burials, eleven chamber graves and 54 cremation graves. In three of the Viking-period graves, dating to the tenth century, fragments were discovered of silver-thread embroidery on silk, worked in couching. The technique and designs have been compared to eastern and southeastern examples, including the Byzantine empire.
