chris mc,
Are your letters right in the last clue?
FAGGED seems a good answer but not in the order you have them.
The only words I can find in the order you have them are
Fagend - An end of poorer quality, or in a spoiled condition, as the coarser end of a web of cloth, the untwisted end of a rope, ect.
Hareld - The long-tailed duck.
lagend - goods (or wreckage) on the sea bed that is attached to a buoy so that it can be recovered
Tabard -herald's coat.
