Two Danish churches (Sebbersund and Fredbjerg) with churchyards
and hence christian graves have been dated to 800-900. However, as
the blogs note, both dating and interpretation of the finds are
contested. Also in Norway there are churchyards predating 1000 AD.

And in reality, it would be no major news if Christian graves earlier
than Harald Bluetooth were to be found. After all, missionaries in
Denmark are known long before his time.
