Description: | A probable Bronze Age cast copper-alloy blade fragment of an axehead. Part of the blade tip and cutting edge remains. The object is highly corroded. It is largely a light, dusty green colour. The fragment is largely undiagnostic and so a date is hard to achieve. The fragment may have belonged to a flat axe, a palstave or a socketed axe and so its date of manufacture could range from anywhere between c. 2500 BC (with the introduction of bronze flat axes) and c. 700 BC.
