Probably a type H (Cowen 1967b):Scabbard:Comments- Cowen (1948) reports that that a fragmentary sword was found in 1852 with a skeleton in Eaglesfield outside Cockermouth, the original label accompanying the sword fragment, in the Black gate Museum in Newcastle, read ‘part of a sword found by a skeleton at Egglesfield near Cockermouth’. The mention of the skeleton suggests that the sword came from a grave site.:Cowen (1948) cites Dickinson, writing in 1877, who mentions that at Brigham six skeletons and a sword were found. This could be evidence of a ‘Viking’ burial site and therefore possibly suggest Anglo Scandinavian settlement in the area:Bibliography- :*{{ListRef|Cowen 1967|p.}}:*{{ListRef|Cowen 1967b|p.}}:*{{ListRef|Edwards 1992|p.28}}:*{{ListRef|Richards 2004|p.191, 194}}:*{{ListRef|Redmond 2007|p.106, Appx.5 No.26}}:*{{ListWeb||[[http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/arch-319-1/dissemination/pdf/Allerdale/Assessment/Cockermouth_and_Papcastle_assessment_report.pdf ahds.ac.uk]]}}:*{{ListWeb||[[http://collectionssearchtwmuseums.org.uk/#details=ecatalogue.668 Great North Museum]]}}|i1=Sword Eaglesfield - Hilt (Cowen 1967).JPG|i2=Sword Eaglesfield (Cowen 1967).JPG}} ===England, Yorkshire: Kildale 1==={{Cat|:Current Location- Lost, stolen.:Find Type- grave find:Find Date- 1867:Total Length-:Blade- Broken:Hilt- Unknown:Scabbard- :Comments- One of 4 swords marked here on Richards map.
