 Sand within the boat lining was found not to match sand from Orkney, Shetland, nor the Scottish mainland, indicating that the boat was not made in Scotland, and that both it and its occupants may have come from Norway or elsewhere.The walled enclosure contained the remains of a man, a woman, and a child, along with numerous grave goods.The man was aged about 30 when he died, the woman about 70, and the child—of unknown sex—about 10 or 11.
