In 1937, Mrs Edith Pretty employed a Suffolk Archaeologist Basil Brown, along with two labourers to open up three mounds on her land at Sutton Hoo. The mounds were opened in 1938 and they realised they had been rich Anglo Saxon graves, all three had been plundered but in mound two they found traces of an Anglo-Saxon boat.
