It measures 83.85mm in length, 52.1mm maximum width at the break, 20.85mm in width at the butt end, 27.35mm maximum thickness at the break, 6.95mm minimum thickness and weighs 105.48 grams.The butt is rounded with flaking scars evident across both surfaces, all of which are patinated. The axehead is lenticular in cross section with facetted sides which have been heavily polished along their entire length. Both faces are convex and exhibit some flaking scars. Both faces have been partially polished along the length, with the polishing becoming more uniform towards the blade end. The axehead retains some cortex on both faces.
