Tactically speaking, it would be easier for farmers to defend a causeway militarily if their heavy weapons were already on site, hidden from view at their end, allowing them to run there quickly, thus a small number could hold off a greater enemy army for days, water is the most valuable logistical need. If the water froze over, well, they were done anyways. But the religous thing sounds more romantic.
Maybe the weapons were thrown there by warriors swearing off war and devoting themselves to peace? Perhaps it was ceremonial, a leader throws a weapon into the water before appearing before the monks to discuss peace? It could be that after burying a dead warrior his weapons were tossed into the water by monks as a gesture to indicate he would be fighting no more? I love a mystery but I just don't enough about this period, which is why I love this interesting series!

Easy, put a Christian site close to a pagan site to stamp at the "devils"
