:Hilt- Small (29mm) piece of guard survives. Part of wooden grip survives.
:Scabbard-
:Comments- Considered by Balfour and Scott Scot to be a possible Seax and described as probably having a hand grip log enough for 2 hands. Grieg describes this find as being no later than the mid C8th and hence possibly the oldest Viking burial in Scotland.
