:Scabbard-:Comments- Cowen (1948) reports that that a fragmentary "A second sword was has also been found in 1852 with a skeleton in Eaglesfield outside Cockermouth, the original label accompanying the sword fragmentgraveyard, in the Black gate Museum in Newcastle, read ‘part of a sword found by a skeleton at Egglesfield near Cockermouth’but its fate is not clear. 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"
