Description: | An incomplete possible rough out trachet axehead of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date.It is a mid-grey flint with calcareous inclusions. It is an elongated oval with a flat broken butt. The possible blade is crescentic blade with a roughly D-shaped cross-section as the dorsal face is flat. There are signs of modern damage on all faces, perhaps through rolling or plough damage.Some percussion lines are dubious and there is no visible bi-facial working. Therefore, alternatively it could be a very rolled and abraded flint nodule impacted by a plough or other modern damage.This axehead measures 134.90mm in length, 72.66mm in width, 27.86mm in thickness, 316g in weight.
