Description: | A worn and corroded fragment, probably from a palstave axe of Middle Bronze Age date. It is sub-rectangular in shape with a roughly rounded butt end. It expands from c. 1.9mm at the butt to 9.3mm at the break: the edge is triangular. In cross-section the object is sub-rectangular. There are side flanges on both upper and lower faces, either side of the septum (the area between the flanges and the stop ridge). The whole has corroded to a coarse surface mainly mid-green in colour but with large areas of a black coating, particularly on one face.
