Description: | A Neolithic polished axehead, measuring 180 x 68 x 30mm. This has been resubmitted for recording, and was apparently found 'about 30 years ago', though is has been previously recorded as being found around 1969. The axe is highly polished flint, with only a few shallow flaking scars. It is undamaged and has a rounded and still sharp cutting edge at its broadest point, a narrow rounded butt with a slight facet and facetted lateral edges. The whole surface is stained brown with a few coarse-grained inclusions are visible as greyer areas. It is probably Late Neolithic, dating from around 3000-2300 BC.
