Description: | Late Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic flaked flint axehead or adze. It measures 109.5x50.3x30.5mm and weighs 189.98g.
In shape the axe/ adze is oval, the cutting edge rounded. In profile, one face appears thinner below the cutting edge, which overhangs this area slightly.
The flint is heavily patinated on one face and half-heavily/ half-pebbled on the other face. Damage at the cutting edge and butt end show a light grey flint beneath.
There is some iron staining on both faces.
In section, at the butt-end, it is diamond-shaped. At the cutting end it is oval-sectioned.
