Title
Bronze Age socketed axehead (fragment)
Description
English: Part of a Middle to Late Bronze Age socketed axehead.

The surviving piece represents the lower part of the axehead and is roughly trapezoidal in plan, its thickness tapering towards the convex cutting edge. The remains of the central concavity are visible on the jagged upper edge, whose patination suggests that the damage occurred in antiquity. Both of the two narrower faces of the axehead display a longitudinal casting seam.

Length: 33.8mm; width: 37.8mm; thickness: 10.9mm; weight: 52.02g.
