Description: | An incomplete late Bronze Age faceted socketed axehead, now in two fragments, around 50% of the butt end remains. A soil matrix is intact inside the socket. The larger fragment is truncated irregularly below the loop. The cutting edge is blunt. Some pitting evident which is probably corrosion. Very worn, rounded edges. Recently plough damaged, scoring on both sides. Mid-light green surface. The smaller fragment is browner than the large fragment. There is one area of medium brown corrosion product on the outside edge. Small patches active bronze disease on the internal surface. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
