What was the Anglo-saxon burial site called?

The Anglo-Saxon burial site is called a barrow. Barrows are large mounds of earth and stones that were constructed over the graves of important individuals. They were often used to bury kings, queens, and other high-ranking members of society. Barrows were typically located on high ground, and they were often surrounded by a ditch or fence. The size of a barrow varied depending on the importance of the person buried there. Some barrows were only a few feet high, while others were over 100 feet high.
