Description: | An incomplete Neolithic (3500-2100 BC) probable granite axehead, probably sourced from Cornwall or Wales. The cutting edge is badly damaged and mostly missing. In shape the axehead is triangular, measuring 15.99x11.14mm at the butt end and widening to 66.18x32.92mm just before the cutting edge, which curves a little inwards. The axehead is max.38.57mm thick at the centre. The stone is grey/ green/blue in colour with medium-sized whiteish inclusions. There is iron staining on both faces of the axehead. Measures 138.99mm in length (probably almost its original length) and weighs 494g (to the nearest 2g).
