Title
Anglo-Norse pattern-welded sword from a garden in Hawarden, Flintshire
Description
English: Anglo-Norse sword (Peterson Type L) with total surviving length of c400mm measured from the tip of the hilt to the end of the broken blade, which is approximately c3mm thick. The blade measures c60mm wide at the hilt and tapers to a width of c45mm at the blade break. The three-part hilt is formed from two opposing, outwardly swept quillons of roughly square section, which each measuring c10mm thick and c90mm to 93mm in length. The hilt grip bar is slightly oblong in section, measuring c10mm thick and c15mm wide. The exposed length of the grip bar is c80mm. No handle or pommel fittings remain attached to the hilt and one half to two thirds of the blade is probably missing.

Slight damage, including some deformation occurred to the hilt during its recovery, partially revealing the sword's pattern-weld construction from several bars of iron. Overall the sword is in a heavily corroded state with sand particles and small rounded stones adhering to the corrosion products. A fine fracture is also evident midway across the remnant blade.
