There were a number of iron fragments nearby that a have been tentatively identified as weapon fragments (part of Norse short sword similar to a seax).

 

A large selection of smaller billets came from both the context of the hearth bottom and from the site of the hoard. These smaller billets were from the context adjacent to the heavier billets identified earlier, suggesting that the lighter ones had been moved further from their original location.
