Description: | Polished axe, 194 x 68 x 42 mm. In grey brown flint with numerous large greyish white inclusions. Polish extends from the sharp and undamaged, curved cutting edge to the blunt squared off butt, leaving many residual flake scars. Both lateral edges are smoothed by light polishing, but not faceted. The butt is relatively sharp, being finished on both faces by shallow longitudinal flaking. The section is symmetrical lenticular. Possibly from grave goods in a burial. Probably later Neolithic.
