Lower blade breakage: W.45.7; Th.7. A break has occurred unevenly across the lower blade, leaving two refitting pieces. It is difficult to ascertain if this break occurred in antiquity or not due to its context and the variable patina at the break. The patina appears consistent with the rest of the blade and there is still some dirt adhering to the break. There are however specks of bronze, which likely indicate where some of the blade has more recently fractured away. The metal appears very porous with several casting flaws, suggesting a poor casting. There are no obvious tool marks associated with this break, but the sword has suffered transverse bending (see below), which could be relate to this breakage.
Bending: The side profile of the sword demonstrates a slightly wavy form, where the sword curves in one transverse direction at the upper blade, before gently and then sharply curving back in the opposite direction towards the lower blade. The upper bend is very shallow at an angle of 5 degrees. The sharper bend towards the lower blade occurs to about 20 degrees from the original profile of the sword and the apex of this is c.69mm above the breakage. It is difficult to assess how this bending was inflicted. Neither bend demonstrates a break in patina; although this is not conclusive of ancient or modern damage, it suggests an ancient origin. It is possible the bending was sustained through use, but given the lack of preparation and use-wear on the sword, this seems less likely. It is more likely though it is possible it was done by hand, and this may also have caused the breakage. It is possible someone was attempting to straighten out the sword. 
Hilt breakage: W.24.5; Th.5.5. The hilt tang has broken off in antiquity just above the junction with the shoulders. The breakage is smooth and patinated a dark brown. There is some material displacement, which appears to have been caused by hammering the end to make it flat.

The socket base is uneven, as though damaged, but could also simply be as-cast and was never ground down. The blade wings are incomplete having presumably broken away and converge on a section of midrib-socket that protrudes above the convergence for about 21.5mm before this too is also broken through the socket leaving the tip absent. The protruding section of socket appears to have broken and been repaired in antiquity. The patination is consistent across this object suggesting these fractures occurred in antiquity.
Tip Breakage: W.12.7; Th.11.3. The tip has broken off from the rest of the object at a slight diagonal and the break itself is patinated indicating it happening in antiquity. The break has occurred across the socket aperture and it can clearly be seen that the socket has been cast asymmetrically (ie, the wall on one side is 1mm thick and the wall on the other is 2.8mm). This may have impacted the likelihood of breakage. There is a bubble in the metal within the thicker wall and a 7.3mm long indentation in the blade surface leading down from the break on one side. This indentation has a u-profile and is about 2-3mm deep ? it is possible this is a casting flaw as well.
Repaired Damage: The protruding section of socket above the convergence of the blade wings shows signs that it has been repaired in antiquity. Faint overlapping of the metal can be seen, indicating that the object had already broken and continued to be used. This might also be the point at which the blade wings were reworked. The repair extends diagonally across the object and at its maximum the repaired piece is 21.5mm long, 16.7 wide, and 12.6mm thick. 
Blade wing breakage: The blade wings seemingly broke in antiquity, perhaps across the blade losing the upper socket and tip, which was later repaired and the wings were reworked back into a leaf-shape converging on a protruding tip. The wings are 1-1.5mm thick and there are no signs of how/why the breakage occurred (eg, no associated marks or casting flaws)
Socket ?Damage: The socket is uneven, which is likely the result of casting, though no attempt seems to have been made to straighten out the edges (perhaps this was not important). The socket has a consistent patina so if it has broken, perhaps through use, it happened in antiquity.","0, 1",Seen and Handled,Torquay Museum,A436,

F036a.4. W.20.5; Th.5.9; W.23.5; Th.6.1. Both breakages appear more recent and have bits that are not corroded, suggesting they have fragmented post-recovery. There is a small perforation (c.3x1.5mm) to the right-hand side of this object, which has probably broken through as a result of corrosion. The nature of the perforation is consistent with the rest of the object so the damage could have occurred in antiquity, but given the overall state of the objects it seems unlikely. The rib running through this perforation is broken away and this continues on F036a.5 for c.17mm.
F036a.5. W.21; Th.6.1; 21.5; Th.6.1. Cracks run through the corrosion on this piece and the ends indicate a combination of corroded breakage and some fragmentation post-recovery

The corrosion of the break is mostly consistent. There is some darker patination that is similar to that on the left breakage of F036a.2, which is probably related to the soil condition. 
Due to the nature of corrosion on this object it is difficult to conclusively state whether this object was deliberately broken or not. Give the amount of damage present as a result of the corrosion and especially considering the state of the other objects in the hoard (eg, the palstave build-up) it is most likely the fragmentation is the result of post-depositional processes.",0,Seen and Handled,Museum of Somerset (Taunton),68.A.8,"Dimensions are given for fragments from left to right as depicted in published drawings (Needham 1989a, fig.15).

Lower breakage: W.27.8; Th.7.6. The lower most breakage has occurred across the middle-lower blade and is patinated with a pale green/cream corrosion, which is inconsistent with the rest of the patina, but this is not too unusual and is suggestive of an old breakage. There are no associated marks or casting flaws.
Bending: There is a slightly transverse bending along the blade piece, which may or may not be related to the lower breakage. There is a scratch on one blade face breaking through the patina and revealing the bronze underneath. This damage roughly corresponds with the bend and thus the bend is most likely to be post-depositional.
Refitting breakage: The sword has broken straight across the upper blade, above the ricasso and below the shoulder. Both breaks are patinated with a similar pale cream corrosion to the lower breakage, though with slightly less green corrosion. There are no associated marks or casting flaws.
A Note on the Interpretation of the Breakages: Due to consistent corrosion on the surface of the blade faces across the refitting breakage, the PAS record suggests that the pieces have broken post-deposition and were originally deposited as a single piece. While this is plausible, this does not explain how the lower breakage is also patinated similarly, unless there is another piece that has yet to be recovered. What might be more likely is that the refitting break is ancient and the pieces were deposited together, which would explain the consistent corrosion on the surface, and the more limited corrosion in the refitting break than the lower break.",Uncertain,Observations from Photos/Drawings,Private,n/a,"F251.1: L.116; Wt.138g.
