Title

Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy late Bronze Age/early Iron Age socketed axehead missing all but a small fragment of the lip and side of the socket. There is a ridge running perpendicular to the lip, which is likely to be the mould line found on socketed axeheads. The lip itself is thicker than the rest of the fragement (7.8mm as opposed to 3.80mm). It has a medium green patina. The outer surface is rough while the inner surface is very smooth.Overall the fragment measures 25.3mm in length, 32.05mm wide and weighs 17.44 grams.
