The Thorsberg Moor, located near Süderbrarup in
Anglia, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is a peat bog
where the Angles deposited votive offerings for
approximately four centuries. Among the numerous
artifacts discovered at this site are two round
wooden shields dating back to the 3rd century CE.
(the '200s) These shields are significant as they provide
insights into the weaponry and defensive tools used
during this period. Despite their age, the shields have
been remarkably well-preserved, offering valuable
information about the materials and construction
techniques of the time. The Thorsberg Moor is
recognized for its wealth of archaeological finds,
which, in addition to the shields, include clothing,
both Germanic and Roman, and objects of
both Roman and Germanic workmanship.

These look like the ones in Viking movies!

Passage Tombs We have a lot of links to sites featuring passage
tombs/passage graves like Newgrange in Ireland and Wayland's
Smithy in England. This link from Ireland is a good explanation
of what makes a burial site a passage grave.

Gavrinis is a big passage tomb in Brittany, France.

"Gavrinis (Breton: Gavriniz) is a small island in the
Gulf of Morbihan in Brittany, France. It contains the Gavrinis
tomb, a Neolithic passage tomb built around 4200–4000 BC,
making it one of the world's oldest surviving buildings. Stones
inside the passage and chamber are covered in megalithic art.
It is likened to other Neolithic passage tombs such as
Barnenez in Brittany and Newgrange in Ireland." - Wikipedia
