English term or phrase: Ship burial mound
Leka has been inhabited for over 10,000 years, as evidenced by Stone Age relics, cave paintings, burial mounds, legends and stories. King Herlaug's grave mound is the country’s biggest ship burial mound. For over 1000 years it has represented King Herlaug’s final declaration of love to Leka: by letting himself be buried alive rather than surrendering his beautiful kingdom.

ship burial mound
tumulo sepolcrale con nave


Explanation:
Osservazioni in riferimento alle altre proposte.
-Il tumulo contiene la nave, ma la nave non è un tumulo.
.La nave funeraria poteva essere lasciata alla deriva in mare e non necessariamente
tumulata.
