Title
Bronze Age flat axe
Description
English: Early Bronze Age flat axe, made from cast cu-alloy. As far as can be determined from the picture, the axe is plain on both sides, has a narrow butt and a widely splayed cutting edge. If there are signs of wear or re-sharpening marks, we cannot see them on the images; they may be very faint.

This axe is part of the Brithdir metalwork assemblage and dates from ca. 2150-2000BC

Unfortunately, we do not have any measurements for the axe, but many thanks to the finder for supplying the images attached to this entry.
