The article says (in an incredibly confusing way) that no game board was actually found here. What was found was dice and game chips. The dice is similar to those of another digging site "near" this one. On that site the board was recovered, but as you say, that board is not shown or discussed further. It then goes on to mention other board games that might have been played and by free association arrives at the 800 year younger Tafl find at Lindisfarne. I imagine that the goal of this was to put the word "Viking" in the headline and thereby generate clicks, but that some editor put a stop to it.
