Description: | Flaked axehead, no cortex present, full recortication, all surfaces now white. The implement.has a D shaped section, one face being strongly convex, the other is also convex but lower. This face is neatly worked by the removal of large flakes from around the edges. Working on the other face is rougher but a regular form has been achieved. The cutting edge has been damaged making it difficult to see the original form of the sharpening. While this object could be a Mesolithic tranchet axe it appears more carefully worked than most examples of the type and a later date is possible. Length 152mm, Width 66mm, Thickness 41mm, Mass 436.2g
