Not much is currently known about the sword. Media attention was probably greater outside than inside the country.
The sword is currently with a conservator. It’s believed to be from just before the Viking age and estimated 1000-1500 years old. The brooch was found later nearby and is believed to be from 4-5thC. The sword was found in shallow water of around half a metre depth. The land is generally higher now than in viking times so it’s possible that the lake was deeper before. |
