Axehead |

Description |
English: An iron incomplete axehead. This axehead is most likely to have been a woodworking tool and is most likely to be medieval in date. It is complete apart from the integral socket the outer edge of which is now missing due to an old break. It measures 164mm in length. The blade end narrows, flares outwards and curves downwards and measures 63mm in width at its terminal. The axehead is triangular in cross-section and thicker towards the handle end. The socket has a rounded projection downwards below the edge of the axe blade itself.This iron axehead is very similar to an example discovered in Norwich it is believed to be a general purpose woodworking axe and was found in a late medieval context (Margeson 1993, 180, fig 130, no 1385). Another similar shaped woodworking axe is shown in the London Museums Medieval Catalogue and is believed to again be medieval dating between 1257-1308 AD (London Museum 1940, 56-57, fig 12, B320). |
