Title
Bronze Age : Axe
Description
English: A badly worn, damaged and corroded early Bronze Age flat axehead. The axe was found as a single find. The axe is cast in copper alloy, but the original surface no longer survives and is heavily pitted. The butt end of the axe has broken off, resulting in an irregular break. The broken central block measures 12.1mm x 38.1mm. The sides of the axe are rounded and it is not possible to see the flanged crest. The main body of the axe tapers into the blade proper. The lower blade is asymetical and badly damaged. The blade tips are also damaged and well worn.  There is no decoration visible on the axe. It is probably dates from 2150-1500 BC. Similar examples can be seen in Moore and Rowlands, Plate VI, Fig: 1-2.
