:*'''[[Swords found in Britain#England, Nottinghamshire: Nottingham (X)|Sword]]''' of Petersen type X length 36", width (blade) 2.25", Gripe has traces of wood.
:*'''[[Swords found in Britain#England, Nottinghamshire: Nottingham (Y)|Sword]]''' pommel of Petersen type Y.
:*'''[[Spears found in Britain#England, Nottinghamshire: Nottingham|Spearhead]]''' of Petersen type C - D. Affixed with a brass pin
:Discussion- Evison has confirmed the sword as a later type Y and not a type L as it appears in the picture [Graham-Campbell 2001:p.106]. Graham-Campbell notes that there is no evidence that the two swords were actually found with the spear [Graham-Campbell 2001:p.106] and suggests that this explains the possible discrepancy of the sword's later C10th / C11th topological dating to the spears earlier C9th traditional dating. I would suggest that the cut off date for the Petersen type C-D spearhead is too early and that Ottonian manuscripts dating to the early C11th still show this type of spear in use. This would help support a C10th century date for the two graves.
