Description: | Incomplete Neolithic polished axe head. The axe is wedge-shaped, with smooth cutting edge and broken butt-end. The surface of the axe has suffered much damage, seemingly in antiquity. One side is smooth and worn with damage towards the top and the butt-end, whereas approximately half of the the other side is damaged. Only one edge remains, which is flattened and smooth. The other edge is entirely damaged. In cross-section the sides of the axe are convex, with the widest point being off-centre to the remaining area of axe, again showing that one original edge is missing. The axe is a mottled green-grey in colour and may be from Langdale greenstone.
