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