Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy axe of Bronze Age date. Only the corner of the blade end survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is rectangular in form, triangular section with one side and part of the sharpened blade surviving. The fragment has a dark green patina and measures 15.90mm in width, 9.86mm in length, 5.09mm in thickness and 2.33g in weight. This is a fragment from the blade of a Bronze Age axe, however due to the preservation of the object it is uncertain whether it belongs to a flat axe, a palstave or socketed axe. It may therefore date to any point during the Bronze Age, c.2150-800 BC.
