Description: | The butt end, perhaps about half, of a flint axe of Neolithic date. Length 57mm, width 33mm and 18mm thick. Weight 40.34g.The butt end of the axe is rounded and the sides flare gently outwards towards the old break which is pointed oval-shape in cross-section. One side is largely occupied by a creamy coloured cortex. However, the edges of this face have received secondary working. The other side is flaked overall to form a central longitudinal ridge. The flaked surfaces have a dark grey coloured patina and the break is similarly patinated, indicating perhaps, that the break is probably old.
