Description: | Late Bronze Age (c.1150-800BC) socketed axehead fragment, blade end only. Curved blade, blade tips slightly splayed, but no blade tip hollows. The axehead is broken across the body, soon after the blade. Socket end visible in the break (depth c.1mm). Casting line down both sides, probably hammered to finish. Original surface missing from cutting edge and much of the faces. Striations on the faces, most diagonal, some longitudinal, some concentric with cutting edge (latter on one side only) - probably the result of re-sharpening. Original surface mid yellow-brown patina. Length 29.19mm, width across cutting edge 45.50mm, width at broken end 33mm, max thickness (at broken end) 16.77mm, weight 64.68g.
