Description: | Iron possible axe head fragment. A wrought iron object of longitudinal V-section with a rounded narrower end, possibly the cutting edge of its blade, and sides which converge towards a thicker back. Viewed in profile the object appears slightly bent. It is uncertain whether the full extent of the putative blade remains, in which case this would have been a small axe for carpentry. Alternatively, this may be the tip of a longer blade. The putative cutting edge is now of crescentic form. The mass may imply the extensive survival of metal below corrosion. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1800.Length: 69.8mm, Width (at cutting edge): 39.2mm, Thickness (towards butt): 18.8mm, Weight: 120.43gms.
