Archaeological investigation at Malling Hill near Lewes, South England, revealed evidence for performing executions at the site in the Saxon period.
Recent excavations are said to have been conducted after a discovery of a piece of human bone found in a rabbit burrow. Archaeologists found a mass grave, containing the skeletons of a group of men executed in the Saxon period, who may have been captured by Viking raiders.
