Context:
Found in «Knaghaug» in 1893; the mound was partially destroyed and the sword was found under a slab near the top of the remaining mound. Shetelig excavated the remaining pile in 1907, and found stones and charcoal, probably a broken stone coffin. At the bottom he found a boat-shaped stone setting, 3 x 2 m. It consisted of round beach stones on a layer of boulders. At the eastern end there was a standing slab on a slab layer on top of a layer of yellow sand. There was a layer of stones under the sand, sitting on the ground.
