Description: | A complete partially polished flint axe head of Neolithic date.It is struck from a pale mottled grey flint. It is an elongated oval with rounded butt, a crescentic blade a lenticular cross-section. The surfaces are part-polished with all-over workings and retouch on the butt and blade end. The lack of polish on the cutting edge, together with the small size, suggest that the axe may have been cut down from a larger polished axe. This axe measures 137.97mm in length, 25.02mm in width at the cutting edge, 37.59mm in width at butt end, 24.12mm in thickness and 124.81g in weight.
