Description: | Neolithic Flaked Axe in pale grey flint (dark grey near cortex). One face flaked overall, the other carrying about 50% thin pebble cortex, with flaking only at the butt end(narrow and rounded) and along the broad cutting edge. The completely flaked face has sparse spotty iron staining while the partly cortical face has streaky iron marks, probably fom agricultural implements. It is unusual to find axes with such large areas of cortex remaining and it may be that the axe is unfinished. Dimensions 112 x 62 x 19mm.
