Listed as a grave find in Vik Ants. Double-edged iron sword

and iron spear-head. [Vik Ants does not mention an iron axe

listed in the two above sources]. Reported to have been found

in 1878 at the digging out of a building at Lamaness in Sanday.

To judge from the association, however, the objects must

presumably have belonged to a grave.
