A subsea anchoring assembly comprises a locking head (11) for connection of a mooring line (10) to an anchor (1). A socket (21) is provided on the anchor (1). The socket (21) has a seat adapted to receive and seat the locking head (11) within it. The socket (21) has a neck (22) provided with a guide device to direct the locking head (11) into alignment with the socket (21). By this arrangement, the locking head (11) and the socket (21) can move between a first configuration in which the locking head (11) and the socket (21) are separate, and a second configuration in which the locking head (11) and the socket (21) are locked together. An associated method is also described.
