Description: | An early Bronze Age axehead dating to the Arreton and Aylesford periods, c. 1700 to 1500 BC. The handle of the axe is no longer present due to a break. The object has side flanges which are highest at the break and then become lower towards the blade. 15.5mm from the break, there are a series of ridges visible on both sides of the object. These extend towards the blade and stop just beyond the termination of the side flanges. The blade flattens and widens from the ridges to a maximum width of 64.84 mm. There is a little bit of damage to one side of the blade tip. The blade is in quite good condition aside from the missing section. There is a fairly even brown patina with small sections of more active green corrosion.
