Bamburgh was a royal stronghold in Northumbria in St. Cuthbert's day and later. The castle is of course from a later time, but Tony Robinson's Time Team have done a program about the current archeological work being done on the Anglo-Saxon cemetery.

More than 85 graves from the 7th and 8th centuries, have been uncovered. Graeme Young, director of archaeology for the Bamburgh Project, said that the cemetery could number up to 1,000 burials.
