Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axehead of late Bronze Age date. The fragment measures 42.3mm by 28.5mm by 5.4mm and weighs 27.7g. It comprises part of two sides of the socket, which has a thickened edge and an adjacent transverse linear moulding, and a short length of the axhead itself. There is a further longitudinal moulding in the centre of one of the surviving sides.
A smaller fragment of copper alloy was found nearby. Although it does not appear to join with the larger fragment, the thickness, general appearance and patina are consistent and the two fragments may well have both formed part of the same axehead (Ben Roberts, pers. comm.). The smaller fragment measures 21.1mm by 20.1mm by 4.1mm and weighs 5.7g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
