Description: | A complete polished flint axehead with a unusual and distinctive cream colouring with irregular brown blotches. This axehead measures 125mm in length, 52mm in width, at the blade end, and is 30mm thick. Residual flake scars can be seen beneath the all over polish. The cutting edge appears to have been retouched, post polishing, on one face only, one large flake scar and several smaller ones can be seen. The blade edge, when viewed head on, is slightly twisted at one end. The lenticular cross-section has slightly rounded edges. Linear iron marks from repeated plough contact can be seen on both faces of the axehead. This axehead is neolithic in date.
