Description: | Incomplete Neolithic axehead with damaged cutting and butt ends. It measures 94.2x49.4(cutting edge)x28.6mm and weighs 235.87g.The axehead is lentoid in section but the sides are flattened. The cutting edge is quite thick - 5.5mm at breaks - and has very jagged damage.The butt end (38.8mm wide) is more damaged, possibly recently as it shows a black colour beneath the surface. The rest of the axe has an amount of orangey iron staining.The stone is not local, and may possibly be from Cornwall. It consists of large particles and looks a little like granite.
