I've replaced an overhead supply to a shed with a buried SWA cable. The

grounding wire that connects the SWA shield to the main earth?

Same size as the cores of the cable and you cannot usually go wrong.

I assume that the only protection you are considering is a spade through
the SWA and that it should trip the head end MCB.
