Description: | Late Bronze Age socketed axe, cast in copper alloy. The axe is incomplete, consisting of the blade end and a significant amount of the body. The transverse break across the socket is very worn. The surviving section of axe is sub-rectangular with a triangular profile. The sides are straight, expanding out slightly at the blade end. There are casting flashes along both sides. The blade is straight and is quite worn. One face of the axe is narrower than the other, and there is a small casting fault on this surface. The rectangular socket is filled with compact soil. The axe has a worn surface and an even mid green patina. The surviving section is 60.42mm long, 32.36mm wide and 20.03mm thick.
