Description: | A fragment of a Late Bronze Age copper-alloy socketed axehead, dating to between 1000 - 800 BC. The edge of the fragment comprising the socket-end has a pronounced rim from which a small portion of the original mould line is visible. The fragment has a side loop that abuts the lower edge of the moulded rim. The fragment measures 29.8mm long, 20.9mm wide, 11.5mm thick with loop, 4.1mm thick without the loop and it weighs 11.78 grams. The fragment is of an even dark green colour and patina, although pitted on both surfaces from corrosion. Due to its fragmented nature, a full identification of the type of socketed axehead is difficult.
