Objects found at the site over the years include lead gaming pieces and copper-alloy coins.
A dig is taking place in Northumberland with hopes of finding a camp belonging to the Viking Great Army.Dr Jane Kershaw from Oxford University, who is leading the dig, said it may have been used by the famous commander Halfdan to launch attacks on the Picts.
"They found some incredible finds that can really only belong to the Viking Great Army and their activities in the 870s ," Dr Kershaw told BBC Radio Newcastle. She said it would be difficult to put a number on those who were there but believes the site could have spanned between 20 and 50 hectares.
