Description: | An iron axe head of probable Post Medieval to Modern date (c. AD 1600 - 1950). The head is trapezoidal in shape and curves slightly along its length. It expands in width and tapers in thickness from the butt end to the cutting edge. The butt end and the cutting edge are both rounded. It exhibits an ovular socket measuring 22.8mm in width.Length: 129mm, Width: 22.8 mm, Thickness: 35.7mm.The axehead is most likely to be a wood working tool dating from c. AD 1600-1950, as it lacks the retangular or triangular lugs on either side of the socket which are common in Roman and medieval examples.
