Description: | Part of a flaked axe, or adze head, butt missing, removed with abrupt, non-conchoidal fracture. Recorticated, but the flint appears to be of poor quality, opaque, mixed grey, with no cortex. Bifacial flaking producing an asymmetrical section, one face keeled, the other convex. Some long blades have been removed from the cutting edge which bears signs of damage, possibly from use. Both edges of the axe are battered. Probably Neolithic. Length 137mm, Width 70mm, Thickness 49mm, Mass 542.7g.
