Description: | A polished stone axehead, which is complete and dates to the neolithic period. The axe is oval in section with a rounded tapering butt, which has slight pre-depositional damage. The cutting edge of the axe is flat though it does taper slightly and has rounded edges. From the butt end to the cutting end of the axe it tapers, (64mm to 35mm), with a maximum thickness of 31mm. There is evidence on the cutting edge of flaking and damage which is pre-depositional in appearence. The sides of the axe are squared, with concave faces (both front and back). The axeheads polish is very well preserved.
