Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed axehead of late Bronze Age date. The fragment is the blade end including the base of the socketed area. It is a tapering rectangle in section and trapezoidal in plan with a heavily worn cutting edge with rounded corners. The break on one face is considerably shallower than the other thought both old and worn. No signs of decoration remain. An insufficient amount of this object remains to allow it to be attributed to a specific tradition within the socketed axehead type. The metal has a light green patina and is worn. The fragment is 48.9mm long, 40.3mm wide, 8.4mm thick and weighs 45.7g.
