: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 One of a sword found by a skeleton at Egglesfield near Cockermouth’4 swords marked here on Richards map. The mention of the skeleton suggests that the sword came from a grave siteRedmond records this as 3rd inhumation 1868.Cowen (1948) cites Dickinson, writing in 1877, who mentions that at Brigham six skeletons and Found with a sword were foundspear. This could be evidence of a ‘Viking’ burial site and therefore possibly suggest Anglo Scandinavian settlement in the area
